The week is organised in cooperation with Dutch retailers, fish mongers, and well-known seafood brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year, Dutch consumers are also encouraged to think beyond seafood while doing their grocery shopping via a social media campaign starring Debbie Duurzaam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Debbie loves &#8220;duurzaam&#8221;, which means sustainable in Dutch. Sustainability is her lifestyle, because she loves life and everything that is good for the environment, good for the planet, good for oceans, good for animals and good for people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Debbie shops, she always looks for labels such as ASC and MSC for seafood, Beter Leven for meat and dairy products, BioNext organic, and Fairtrade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Debbie loves the people behind these labels.
