How our oceans can help feed the world
This April, more than 250 aquaculture industry leaders will gather in London for the Blue Food Innovation Summit.
Taking place over 8 & 9 April, this summit will bring together leading experts, policymakers and innovators to discuss and develop solutions for the sustainable production and consumption of aquatic foods.
The event will highlight the latest advancements in aquaculture, fisheries and marine biotechnology, aiming to address global challenges such as food security, climate change and ecosystem preservation.
From harnessing AI and digital platforms to developing low-carbon aquafeeds and new tools for measuring the impact of regenerative, biodiverse ocean and land-based production, the Blue Food Innovation Summit will spotlight the disruptive innovation, creative strategy and financing necessary for creating a climate-resilient aquatic food chain.
As climate change continues to disrupt global supply chains, the summit will spotlight adaptation strategies across aquaculture, seafood and advanced feed solutions that will drive resilience and ensure sustainable, nutritious aquatic food production for future generations.
Join leading aquaculture producers, technology innovators, investors and regulators for two days of high-level discussions on how technology and investment can be leveraged for climate-positive impact on the global blue food value chain.
