Abstract

The term "blue food" describes a wide range of foods that come from aquatic habitats, such as fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other marine life. This food group is becoming more well-known for its ability to significantly improve nutritional demands and global food security. By leveraging the abundance of marine resources, the concept of "blue food" holds significant potential for advancing sustainability and enhancing global food security. As nutrient-dense food sources, they can diversify the food supply, especially with the use of techniques like seaweed and bivalve aquaculture. Traditional land-based agriculture can be less stressed, fostering a more robust global food system. The health benefits of blue foods for both humans and the environment have also been demonstrated by initiatives that enhance resilience to climate change through sustainable practices. Blue foods have the potential to enhance resilient food systems, reduce environmental impacts, and improve the health of billions of people globally by emphasising sustainable practices and encouraging international cooperation.
