TO SUBSCRIBE TOVian IsaacCollaboration is the Key to Sustainable Aquaculture Aquaculture today is the fastest-growing sector in animal food production. The worldwide demand for large-scale production and healthy nutrition for the increasing population size are the key factors driving this growth. In fact, by 2030, around 40 million tons of fish will be needed to address the rising demand.And yet, the aquaculture industry has still not reached the scalable stage to meet the increasing global demand sustainably. The sector is experiencing significant changes due to many environmental, economic, and social concerns. Aquaculture companies need sustainable fish farming solutions to stay afloat in the market.National governments and international organizations concerned with national and global food security are facilitating sustainable development and scaling in aquaculture to boost supply and funding innovation to improve production and solve sustainability and environmental challenges. To enhance the transparency and traceability--which are crucial aspects in criticisms against aquaculture--businesses have started using blockchain-based solutions to trace seafood from fisherman or farmer to plate. This solves the issue of mislabeling as products move through the supply chain to ensure consumers buy the same product that was initially grown.Aquaculture companies are also partnering with the hospitality sector to feature blockchain on their menu with the addition of QR codes that enables guests to read about their meal's journey. This helps in increasing the credibility and teaching guests about sustainable seafood production and sourcing while delivering culinary delights featuring locally farmed as well as wild captured seafood.Different entities like National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), research institutes, and universities and experts like marine biologists and ocean engineers are working in collaboration for marine spatial planning to use marine resources sustainably. And indeed, aquaculture companies today are also proactively collaborating with different sectors to ensure the longevity and sustainability of aquaculture.Let us know your thoughts.
