The urgent global challenges of malnutrition, climate change and environmental degradation necessitate creating new, equitable, innovative and sustainable food system pathways¹. Regenerative aquatic foods (RAFs), encompassing seaweeds, bivalves and pelagic small fish, represent a promising avenue, offering nutrient-rich foods while supporting ecological health. Compared with terrestrial foods, RAFs often have equal or higher protein and nutritional value with considerably lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced land and freshwater usage. Seaweeds, bivalves and pelagic small fish, in particular, present a unique opportunity to advance at least 7 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These foods are pivotal for sustainable food security in a climate-impacted world, providing essential nutritional benefits with minimal environmental footprints and are crucial contributors to global food equity^2,3.

This roadmap⁶ identifies strategic areas essential for upscaling RAF production sustainably:

• Consumption: integrate RAFs into diets by creating appealing products, gaining endorsements from food champions, including RAFs in dietary guidelines and food composition tables, and supporting efforts in consumer education⁷.

• Community-based practices: enable local and Indigenous communities to steward and benefit from RAF resources, enhancing food sovereignty and sustainable management^2,7.

• Ecosystem services: monetize services such as carbon cycling, species recovery and nutrient reduction to promote economic systems that value ecological restoration and conservation^8,9.

• Capital investment: encourage innovative, environmentally friendly production methods through sufficient funding and effective financial mechanisms².

• Technology and innovation: utilize advanced technologies (for example, environmental monitoring and forecasting technology, and native species breeding programs) to optimize production and participatory incentive structures designed by local communities to ensure sustainability.

营养不良、气候变化和环境退化等紧迫的全球挑战需要创建新的、公平的、创新的和可持续的粮食系统途径¹ 。再生水产食品（RAF），包括海藻、双壳类和中上层小鱼，代表了一条有前途的途径，提供营养丰富的食物，同时支持生态健康。与陆地食物相比，RAF 通常具有相同或更高的蛋白质和营养价值，同时温室气体排放量显着降低，并且减少了土地和淡水的使用。特别是海藻、双壳类和中上层小鱼，为推进 17 项可持续发展目标 (SDG) 中的至少 7 项提供了独特的机会。这些食品对于受气候影响的世界的可持续粮食安全至关重要，以最小的环境足迹提供基本的营养益处，并且是全球粮食公平的重要贡献者^2,3 。

该路线图⁶确定了可持续扩大 RAF 生产规模所必需的战略领域：

• 
  消费：通过创造有吸引力的产品、获得食品冠军的认可（包括将 RAF 纳入膳食指南和食品成分表）以及支持消费者教育工作⁷ ，将 RAF 纳入饮食中。

• 
  基于社区的做法：使当地和原住民社区能够管理皇家空军资源并从中受益，从而加强粮食主权和可持续管理^2,7 。

• 
  生态系统服务：将碳循环、物种恢复和营养减少等服务货币化，以促进重视生态恢复和保护的经济系统^8,9 。

• 
  资本投资：通过充足的资金和有效的金融机制鼓励创新、环保的生产方法² ．

• 
  技术和创新：利用先进技术（例如环境监测和预测技术、本地物种育种计划）来优化生产和当地社区设计的参与式激励结构，以确保可持续性。
