Smart Aquaculture Technology: Building Climate Resilience and Food Security in the Agrifood Supply Chain

Abstract

This paper examines the impacts of climate change on fish production within the agrifood supply chain and its implications for food security. It reviews smart aquaculture technologies as key adaptation and mitigation strategies for sustainable fish production and resilient food security. Adaptation measures include data-driven tools for site and species selection, as well as automated monitoring systems and predictive models that enable proactive risk management under climate variability. Mitigation strategies focus on reducing the sector’s carbon footprint through optimized feed utilization, waste reduction, and the integration of renewable energy sources. Findings suggest that smart aquaculture not only strengthens production efficiency and reduces environmental impacts but also enhances agrifood supply chain resilience by stabilizing fish supply, improving resource use across value chain logistics, and supporting reliable market distribution. By harnessing smart technologies, the aquaculture sector can adapt to climate change, mitigate environmental pressures, and ensure a resilient agrifood supply chain that underpins sustainable fish production and long-term food security.
