About our Aquaculture
With the world facing the challenges of a growing population, unsustainable traditional farming practices, overexploited fisheries, and climate change, new food production systems need to be adopted. Aquaculture and closely allied aquaponics (fish and vegetable farming) hold great potential to provide sustainable food resources to address this need. The aquaculture industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the food industry. Although more widely established in Asia, aquaculture is expanding in Africa, South America, and North America. The industry has been hampered by farming practices that are detrimental to the environment and by poor quality control for farmed seafood products. The industry is maturing, and these issues are being addressed by adopting sustainable farming techniques and adhering to standards provided by recognized quality certification organizations. For continued growth the industry will need capital investment from governments, foundations, venture capitalists, and banks. Early stage innovators or farmers are typically supported by funds available from government programs or business incubators. Capital investment for large projects or established business expansion will require funds from venture capitalists or established financial institutions. Many traditional funding sources will need to be educated on the processes and potential of aquaculture before funding becomes widely available.
