Synopsis (short abstract) Blue transformation is a vision that aims to satisfy the world’s growing nutritional needs by providing the legal, policy and technical framework to sustain growth while conserving aquatic ecosystems. Technology and science are key to this process: artificial intelligence, the use of drones, and blockchain technologies are already determining a dramatic change in aquatic food value chains. But how can they be harnessed to achieve a transformation that is long-lasting and sustainable? In the context of the FAO Science and Innovation Forum, experts, resource partners and investors in the aquatic food sector will gather on the 20 of October 2022 at 11am CEST to discuss ideas, practices and solutions for leveraging science, technologies and innovation to make a genuine contribution to healthy nutrition, human well-being and poverty alleviation.

Strengthening the agricultural innovation system (AIS) is a key step to accomplishing food systems transformation. Lack of policy cohesiveness and limited integration of policies and investment plans have constrained the pathway to achieve the SDGs. This side-event will present a framework that defines pathways to food systems transformation using integration at the policy, capacity and investment levels within AISs. It will also analyse the status of existing policies and financial mechanisms and investments, including lessons learned, experiences, and success factors for implementation of such frameworks in several countries. Based on the analysis, guidelines for a holistic approach to strengthen enabling environments through integrated policies and increasing investments for agricultural innovation at country and regional levels with be discussed and validated.
