The importance of farming seafood responsibly

With the population estimated to reach 10 billion by 2050, and with wild-caught fisheries at capacity, the importance of seafood farming will continue to grow. However, care must be taken to limit the industry’s negative impacts.

Seafood farming already:

Produces almost 60% of the seafood consumed globally
Provides direct employment for over 22 million people
Delivers socio-economic benefits to tens of thousands of communities.

Responsible seafood farming:

Cares for people and planet by easing pressure on natural resources
Protecting precious ecosystems
Promoting economic opportunities
Addressing food security challenges and fulfils a crucial link in the circular economy.
