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.
