Acting towards a sustainable future 

The world is grappling with climate change. Increased temperatures and variations in precipitation patterns have led to extreme weather events like draughts and floods, which pose severe threats to productivity within the aquacultural and agricultural industries. At the same time, these industries are facing increasing pressure to be transparent, and to control risk across their supply chains. AquaVision will discuss the actions needed to make the aquaculture industry more resilient, while accelerating growth in a way that is good for the planet and for our business.

Dealing with market disruptions in an ever-changing world 

The number of people suffering from acute food insecurity in the world grew 1.5 times between 2019 and 2022, as the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and the economic consequences of COVID-19 pushed food prices to all-time highs. The growth in global food production is expected to slow though, due to factors such as demographic trends, geopolitical tensions, price volatility and rising trade barriers. AquaVision will discuss how the industry should address these issues in the search for new pathways to feed the world’s population.

Beyond tomorrow  

Artificial intelligence is increasingly infiltrating our lives and the ways we work, but entrepreneurs and innovators will remain the pioneers who take aquaculture into new and uncharted territory. We need their groundbreaking concepts to open up new areas for sustainable food production. AquaVision will showcase cutting-edge technology with the potential to accelerate transformational change within the industry.
