GLOBAL PROTEIN CRISIS SEAFOOD PRODUCTION IS THE MOST EFFICIENT SOLUTION
Demand for seafood is expected to grow to 230 million tonnes in 2050. The aquaculture industry must grow from 60 million tons to 145 million tonnes globally.

INNOVATION• Aquaculture’s bad practices have led to lots of innovation
• Exciting new technologies commercially viable
• RAS systems
• IMTA
• Insects for feed
• Alternative ways to battle disease
• Distribution technologies
• Sturdy, global ecosystem of multiple SME’s in stead of few large producers
