Events of 2020 have bought into sharp focus global health and food security. AwF is responding to these changes in global outlook in directing its support appropriately. Many of us are disconnected from our food supply chain, which is now almost certainly global in some aspect. As a result of recent events these supply chains will change and retake into account national, regional and local self-sufficiency.
Healthy food, in turn, supports a healthy immune system, which is proving to be important for human survival in today’s pandemic. Education covering the food and health of tomorrow’s citizens and workforce has never been more important for nation states.
One such development is AwF forging a relationship with Perlis University in Malaysia. This involves supporting individual students for the entirety of a one-year course to set them on a path to an aquacultural future. We have selected the most financially challenged students for allocating this support, in order to make real difference to those most in need. Our intent is that both a career and food security come hand in hand.
AwF is also involved in other educational activity designed to encourage school leavers to choose a career in aquaculture and the vital healthy food production so necessary for future generations. All this in a circular food production model designed to provide environmentally designed and pollutant free food.
