SUMMARY:Sustainable Aquaculture – Environmental Impacts and Food Security
DESCRIPTION:The Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) and the German National
  Academy of Sciences Leopoldina co-organize the workshop “Sustainable Aquac
 ulture – Environmental Impacts and Food Security” from 16-19 October 2023 i
 n Berlin. It is the fourth event of a workshop series on water, mainly desi
 gned for postdoctoral researchers. Two goals are in focus: 1) bringing toge
 ther early career scientists from South America and Europe to identify need
 s for political action in relevant fields and 2) empowering participants in
  policy advice. The objective of the forthcoming workshop is to review, ass
 ess and discuss current and emerging challenges for and needs in sustainabl
 e aquaculture. The final outcome will be a policy brief published and distr
 ibuted by both Academies.\n\nClimate change affects where, how and when wat
 er, specifically freshwater, as a resource becomes available. Unevenly dist
 ributed rainfalls and droughts increasingly make water a limiting resource.
  The competitive use and scarcity of freshwater challenge food security. Ho
 wever, aquaculture – if sustainably implemented – may serve as a resource-e
 fficient and low-impact protein source for people globally.\n\nGiven the cr
 itical water-food nexus, two thoughts guide the workshop: First, it assesse
 s the environmental impacts on and by aquaculture in freshwater and transit
 ion waters. A systemic approach considering water as a resource as well as 
 an ecosystem is urgently needed. The workshop will identify ways forward in
  using water sustainably and circularly. Second, it debates aquaculture's p
 rospect as an essential component of the global food production system. Due
  to the multiplicity and interdependence of ongoing crises, the policy brie
 f should provide insights into the global food production challenge under c
 hanging climate conditions – with aquaculture in the focus.\n\nThe workshop
  has the following objectives:\n\n 	discuss the opportunities and challenge
 s of sustainable aquaculture in freshwaters and transition waters 	promote 
 aquaculture as a viable and alternative source for protein nutrition in the
  Global South and Global North 	develop policy advice by a compact policy b
 rief 	empower early career scientists in providing scientific policy advice
  	create a platform and stimulating atmosphere for scientific networking \n
