Rationale Behind the Conference

The International Conference on Fisheries and Aquaculture (ICFA) 2025 is a premier global platform addressing the urgent need for sustainable and equitable growth in fisheries and aquaculture. As the demand for fish rises alongside population growth, critical challenges such as resource sustainability, climate resilience, and equitable access demand transformative solutions. ICFA 2025 focuses on bridging gaps across pre-harvest and post-harvest stages, enhancing value chains, and fostering collaboration among global stakeholders. By aligning with FAO’s “Blue Transformation” initiative and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the conference aims to drive impactful discussions and innovative practices that will shape a resilient and inclusive future for aquatic food systems.

Purpose of the ICFA 2025

The International Conference on Fisheries and Aquaculture (ICFA) 2025 aims to serve as a global platform for advancing sustainable practices, fostering international collaboration, and driving innovation in fisheries and aquaculture. ICFA 2025, under the theme “Applying Food Systems Approach: Towards Harnessing the Full Potential of Fisheries and Aquaculture,” provides a unique platform to address these critical issues. Bringing together global experts, policymakers, and practitioners, the conference fosters collaboration, explores innovative solutions, and aligns with FAO’s “Blue Transformation” roadmap to shape a sustainable future for fisheries and aquaculture. Join us to drive impactful change and advance the global agenda for sustainable aquatic food systems.
