Lunch and Learn: Intro to Aquaculture - The Fastest Growing Agriculture Sector
This is the monthly meetup for the 🌐 Food & Ag Cluster! We discuss:
Regenerative agriculture
Food systems investing
Alternative proteins & food tech
Circular packaging, food waste
Blue foods
And more!
This cluster brings together the founders, investors, scientists and entrepreneurs reimagining how we produce, distribute, and consume food on an increasingly strained planet.
This meetup, we'll take a dive into the exciting world of aquaculture, a rapidly developing global industry with opportunities for innovators to engage in sustainable development and global food supply.
In the most recent FAO analysis, aquaculture of aquatic animals (not including plants and algae) surpassed wild capture fisheries production for the first time in 2022. But aquaculture can elicit very different reactions base on the operation in question whether it is salmon farming in Chile or offshore kelp farming in the Southern California Bight.
This lunch and learn will be hosted by 9Zero member Dr. Christopher Noren!
We'll cover a brief overview of global aquaculture before diving into areas of high interest and innovation in the field including offshore aquaculture, recirculating aquaculture systems, low trophic aquaculture, and the aquaculture potential of marine algae (i.e., kelp).
