𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗡𝗢 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗗! Today is #WorldFoodDay - an international day celebrated every year worldwide on October 16 to commemorate the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in 1945. On this day, FAO shines light on global actions to promote secure and sustainable food systems in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). When you think of this day, chances are that you will think about food, but this year's theme is truly fascinating. It is all about water - the foundation of every food system on our planet. 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚. 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙙. 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙉𝙤 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝘽𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙. The oceans that cover 71% of our planet are a vital source of nourishment for billions of people worldwide, providing 15% of global protein intake.   The diversity of ocean food systems, together with the rich nutritional content of aquatic food, makes them essential for feeding the world’s growing population. At dsm-firmenich, we’re not just acutely aware of this issue – as a Category of One, we’ve been harnessing the full breadth of our science and research capabilities to shape a better future for marine ecosystems. As a company that combines the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable, we’re driven by a single purpose: to bring progress to life. And for us, progress is only meaningful if we’re moving in a direction that respects our planet and its interconnected food systems. Water, the wellspring of life itself, is an indispensable part of each of these systems – which is why we’re so driven to reduce our own water usage and develop solutions that strengthen the sustainability of the aquaculture industry. From omega-3s derived from algae to net-zero proteins for aquaculture feed, our Business Units have developed a wide array of solutions to preserve and protect the oceans that sustain us all.   #WeBringProgressToLife #Sustainability #SDG

💡 Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) #consumer #research: #sustainability needs more focus in the #supermarket. 📌 Demand for #seafood remains high in all 14 countries surveyed, and #ASCcertification and other #certification schemes are regarded as #trustworthy by #shoppers. ✅ However, "#consumers need a prompt in the supermarket to bring sustainability to the front of their minds," says ASC. ✨🔍 Read more details on the #ASC #survey findings here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dG9vqnZk

Did you know that more than half of the fish consumed globally come from aquaculture? (FAO) 🤔 Fish farmers wish to contribute to more sustainable #aquaculture production, although affordability makes this a problem due to aquafeed being based on unstainable feed ingredients. How can we help to resolve this issue? Insects! 🐛 An EIT Food funded project transformed organic waste streams into, a valuable, next generation sustainable aquaculture feed ingredient called METAFEED Alpha which is made from a process of converting food waste into animal feed by using Black Soldier Fly. This alternative is sustainable and affordable and will allow fish farmers to work whilst doing better for the planet.

Agroecological practices are focused on producing safe, non-detrimental food systems for the environment and natural resources, especially helping to promote food sovereignty and governance. Through sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences, farmers can contribute to reducing or ending the use of a variety of harmful and risky substances or chemical poisons to consumers, the environment and nature. 👩🏾🌾♻️ Agroecological practices are an integrated approach that simultaneously implements environmental sustainability concepts and principles for planning and managing food and agriculture systems. These practices benefit everyone: healthier crops, a cleaner environment, and delicious, seasonal produce. Want to support and promote local products? Look for farmers' markets! 🧺 Follow us for more information! #AAC #Agroecology #ChooseNatural #ChooseLocal #Sustainability

The Regal Springs team thoroughly enjoyed the 2023 Blue Food Innovation Summit in London last week. Not only did the event bring together some of the best and brightest from across the global aquaculture industry, but it also highlighted several crucial opportunities to replenish our oceans. Many of the summit's key themes aligned with the work that we're doing at Regal Springs, such as: 🔵 Improving aquatic health and welfare by enhancing disease prevention, genetics, and harvesting. 🔵 Increasing blue investments, putting venture capital, growth capital, and ESG to work in today's financial climate. 🔵 Enhancing sustainable aquafeed, utilizing novel and responsibly sourced marine ingredients. We're looking forward to taking some of the learnings from the event and implementing them in our own aquaculture processes! You can learn more about the event's goals below. #BlueFoodInnovationSummit #SustainableAquaculture #SeafoodProduction #FishFarming #ESG https://bit.ly/3Ioxzrv

The future of food is blue. 💙 And we need to be sharing this message with the world. That was my call to action as the keynote of this year's Aquaculture New Zealand conference, where I had the privilege of addressing a room filled with passionate farmers, scientists, and industry experts from New Zealand's aquaculture sector. Their stories are compelling and deserve a global audience. Why share our seafood stories? Today's seafood consumers differ markedly from their predecessors. They crave transparency, authenticity, and connection. That means there's no more time for being humble. This is the time to shout about our progress and our innovation, and bring the seafood consumer into our world, in a way we never have before. This isn't just a PR move; it's a game-changer. People protect what they love, and they can't love what they don't understand. Right now, the future of food is at a crossroads. Topics like offshore aquaculture expansion and novel feed developments - the capacity of our oceans to feed billions - are on the line. Bringing consumers into our world, helping them understand it, and fostering their love and support could be the tipping point to accelerating a sustainable "blue" food future. And if the future of food is blue, the future of food is happening right here in New Zealand. 🇳🇿 Tēnā koutou.

This #SustainableSeafoodWeek, we focus on the Australian seafood industry's efforts to integrate innovative technology and processes to protect its investment in sustainable fishing and farming—and consequently, its recognition for some of the best seafood in the world. We commend the industry for taking proactive steps and partnering with solution providers to become a leader in driving transparency into supply chains. #sustainableseafood #australianseafood #provenancescience #originscience

Our work is driven by the essential transformation of food production in Europe for a more sustainable world. The name PATHWAYS implies we are at a crossroads, and this is true! The future holds many possibilities. Our #ForSustainableFood forum on March 7 allowed our diverse range of partners and stakeholders to discuss, deliberate, and produce a collaborative outlook on an eco-friendly transition in the livestock industry. The top three takeaways for future agriculture policy are: ✅ Performance-Based Payments (PBP) ✅Emissions Reduction Incentives ✅Shift Towards Sustainable Diets towards the creation of more sustainable #FoodSystems in 🇪🇺, 🇬🇧, and beyond! Read more below in our policy brief. For more on how we arrived at these conclusions, see our forum streamed live here ➡ https://lnkd.in/eQ8yJcwW
