🐟 The Responsible Seafood Summit brings together seafood professionals to tackle the main challenges facing the aquaculture and fisheries sector.
This year, Sara Barrento, FAI’s Head of e-Learning and aquaculture project manager will join industry leaders in a panel discussion at the event to talk about animal welfare.
Why is Sara on this panel?
Sara is an aquaculture expert committed to helping farmers, retailers, and consumers work together to improve the health and well-being of farmed aquatic species. Sara uses FAI’s science-based Welfare Assessment Protocol, which has been translated into practical tools for farmers—the Tilapia Welfare App and eLearning courses—taking a bottom-up approach to improving fish welfare globally.
🗓️Date: Wednesday 23rd October
🎤 Panel title: "Aquatic Animal Welfare is Everyone's Business"
👩🌾🐠 Empowering Farmers: Once farmers learn what good welfare looks like, they can monitor and report using the four welfare indicators: Nutrition, Health, Behaviour and Environment—helping them make better management decisions to improve fish welfare and health, leading to improved productivity and reducing costs.
🌍📊 Universal Language of Welfare: Whether shrimp or fish, providing a universal, science-based welfare framework helps the entire supply chain understand what’s happening on the farm.
🏬🛒 Retailer’s Role: Retailers don’t need to know technical details if they can rely on welfare scores that reflect nutrition, behaviour, health, and environment.
🛡️🍽️ Consumer Confidence: Consumers want peace of mind that the seafood they buy is not only safe but that the animals had a good life. They want to trust that the welfare needs of the animals are met.
