Representatives from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, Conservation International, the US Geological Survey, and universities from around the world demonstrated the importance of fisheries to nutrition, gender equality, livelihood resilience, and food and economic security in Low Income Food Deficit Countries (LIFDC). Inland fisheries produce more than 50% of all food fish in the world, and 43% of the world’s inland fisheries are located in 50 LIFDCs. Secure Fisheries’ Dr. Sarah Glaser presented her ongoing research on ways aquaculture in Lake Victoria can help or hinder development goals by impacting wild fisheries in the lake.
