Food security remains a pressing global concern amid surging populations and dwindling energy and water resources. Over one billion individuals in low and middle-income nations grapple with malnutrition. Achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals hinges on curbing post-harvest losses, particularly within the fisheries sector.
The overarching goals of SECUREFISH are to:
- Enhance capacity in cost-effective technology.
- Refine fish preservation methods to conserve existing supplies.
- Harness waste and by-catch for value-added product creation.
- Forge an integrated quality management tool.
- Field-test the developed technology and quality management tools across diverse third-country settings.
