The CGIAR Research Program on Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) is collaborating with partners
to develop and implement a foresight-based engagement with diverse stakeholders linked to
aquatic agricultural systems. The program’s aim is to understand the implications of current drivers
of change for fish agri-food systems, and consequently food and nutrition security, in Africa, Asia
and the Pacific. Partners include the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR), the Forum
for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and the African Union’s New Partnership for Africa’s
Development (AU-NEPAD).
A key part of the program was a participatory scenario-building workshop held in July 2015 under
the theme of “futures of aquatic agricultural systems and implications for fish agri-food systems in
southern Africa.”
This report presents technical findings from the workshop.
