🌍 World Food Day 2024 🌍 Today, we stand together for the right to food for a better life and a sustainable future. Seafood can significantly contribute to addressing food security challenges and promoting healthier diets for all. Did you know that seafood provides approximately 20% of the global per capita protein supply from animal sources? Additionally, seafood is a highly efficient protein source, requiring significantly less land and water compared to traditional livestock. For instance, producing one kilogram of fish typically requires just 1-2 square meters of land, while the same amount of pork can require 6-7 square meters. Moreover, over 3.2 billion people rely on fish as their primary source of protein, making it a key ingredient in achieving the right to food for a better life and future for all.

This National Space Day on 23rd August, as India celebrates the incredible achievements of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, we at Captain Fresh are proud to shine a spotlight on the remarkable intersection of space technology and the fisheries sector. This year’s focus on applying space technology in fisheries highlights how tools like Captain Fresh’s Fishgram transform traditional practices. Fishgram leverages satellite data, ocean state forecasts, and advanced analytics to help fishermen navigate and sustainably manage their catches. By mapping potential fishing zones and enhancing traceability, Fishgram is not just improving efficiency- it’s helping to secure the future of our oceans. As space technology continues to break new ground, we’re excited to see its profound impact on the seafood sector, ensuring that both the sky and the sea remain vast frontiers of innovation. #CaptainFresh #NationalSpaceDay #Chandrayaan3 #SeafoodInnovation #TechInSeafood #Fishgram
