The Sustainable Development Goals agenda makes achieving food security and ending malnutrition a global priority.

This paper reviews current fish production and consumption from capture fisheries and aquaculture, highlights opportunities for enhancing healthy diets, and outlines key multi-sectoral policy solutions.
