🌊 Food System Resilience: Navigating Blue Food Security and Sustainability 🌊 As global populations surge and the quest for food security intensifies, aquatic food sources are emerging as a pivotal solution to address hunger. At the heart of discussions lie crucial questions: How do policymakers view aquatic food systems as a critical resource and climate solution? How are governing bodies tackling the climate impact in aquaculture and fisheries? Excited to hear this enlightening discussion featuring esteemed speakers: 🔹 Michael C. Rubino, Senior Advisor for Seafood Strategy, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, USA 🔹 Catarina Martins, Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer, Mowi, NORWAY 🔹 Lorella De La Cruz Iglesias, Deputy Head of Unit- Blue Economy Sectors, Aquaculture and Maritime Spatial Planning, Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, European Commission, BELGIUM 🔹 Paddy Campbell, Vice President Salmon Division, BioMar, UK This panel will delve into strategic actions and combined financial support necessary from both public and private organizations to bolster resilience and sustainability in the blue economy. They'll explore the role of tech-based solutions and data in addressing food security challenges. This article from The Guardian (https://lnkd.in/edyhQeUS) highlights research finds that adopting a diet of forage fish (sardines, herring and anchovies) would be especially helpful for low- and middle-income countries, where these fish are cheap and plentiful, and where the toll taken by heart disease in particular is high. They also have the lowest carbon footprint of any animal food source. However, at the moment three-quarters of the forage fish catch is ground into fishmeal and fish oil – products mostly used for fish farming.

🌟 Precision Nutrition: Sustainable Aquaculture for a Sustainable Planet 🌱 As the global demand for seafood rises, the aquaculture industry faces the critical challenge of balancing growth with sustainability. One innovative solution? #Precision_Nutrition: a cutting-edge approach that optimizes feed formulations to enhance fish health, growth, and environmental sustainability. Key Approaches👇: 💡 #Data_Driven_Feed_Formulation: Leveraging AI and machine learning to create tailored and flexible feed compositions based on species-specific needs, growth stages, and environmental conditions. 💡 #Nutrient_Optimization: By evaluating the total amino acid level that is effectively ingested by the fish and removing the unnecessary excess, the nutritional needs of fish are met with increased precision and efficiency, maximizing health and growth while minimizing environmental impact. 💡#Real_time_Monitoring: Using sensor technologies and Internet of things to monitor water quality and feeding behaviour, enabling precise adjustments to feeding regimes. Key Benefits and Results👇: #Enhanced_Growth_and_Yield: Species receive exactly what they need at each life stage, leading to faster growth and up to a 20% increase in yield, directly contributing to global food security. #Improved_Efficiency_and_Cost_Savings: Optimized feeding strategies reduce waste, lower feed costs by 10-15%, and ensure that every nutrient is utilized effectively. #Environmental_sustainability: By reducing nutrient runoff and waste, precision nutrition can cut nitrogen and phosphorus pollution by over 30%, protecting aquatic ecosystems and reducing the carbon footprint of aquaculture operations. 💡 The Takeaway: Precision nutrition is not just a trend—it's a transformative approach that can drive the aquaculture industry towards a more sustainable future. Let’s champion innovation in aquaculture and contribute to a sustainable future! 🌍🐟 #Sustainability #Aquaculture #PrecisionNutrition #MarineConservation #Innovation #FoodSecurity

Dr. Thomas Wilson, facilitator at the Progressus Aqua Nutrition AgriSchool, presented that since wild fisheries can no longer increase our seafood supply, future sources of fish and crustaceans will have to come from aquaculture and this will require farm intensification in the future. He defined intensification as producing substantially more seafood products per unit of water, land, and energy compared with conventional farming. However, intensification does have less room for error in terms of controlling feed and environment, and greater risk of disease. Given an ever-increasing world population and increasing resource scarcity, Dr Wilson asked the obvious question, “How can we accelerate further gains in productivity and environmental performance?” Recommendations included: 🔸Intensification is likely to be more successful if the industry shifts towards species such as tilapia and white-legged shrimp that are not too sensitive to crowding stress resulting from higher stocking densities. 🔸Use highly digestible, low-pollution feeds, since water quality problems can come from the high volume of soluble nitrogen and phosphorus from uneaten and undigested feed. 🔸Focus on species that don’t need high crude protein diets and can tolerate plant ingredients and use natural productivity, such as tilapia, carp, catfish, and pangasius. 🔸Technological innovation in nutrition, feeds, and feed management, focused on minimising farmers’ cost and aquaculture wastes by increasing feeding efficiency and continuing to develop alternatives to fish oil. 🔸R&D low-impact production systems, such as biofloc systems, recirculating aquaculture systems, and integrated systems.

Protein diversification, what does it mean? - More plant-based food. This would also benefit farmers. - The right incentives through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). - Addressing structural barriers through the creation of enabling food environments that make the healthy, sustainable choice the easy, available and affordable option. - Insects: a bad solution. Their welfare needs are largely unknown and the industry is mainly a feed industry that supports continued intensive farming. - Science-based discussions about cultivated meat, no more fear mongering and disinformation.
