ISSUE FOCUS 18 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2022 An important task is attributed to the aquaculture industry at the point of ensuring food security for the increasing world population due to limited food sources. However, the aquaculture industry also has various dilemmas within itself. In particular, its effects on the environment cause fish farming to be subject to frequent criticism. So, how can the aquaculture industry achieve a more sustainable production by using limited resources more efficiently and reducing the environmental impact? Or, are there ways to both produce sustainably and be commercially competitive at the same time? “ADM has found a way to help farmers produce fish and shrimp using fewer resources and minimizing the environmental footprint of our industry, such as eutrophication, or the negative impact of excess nitrogen and phosphorus on a body of water.” says Yoav Rosen, Global Marketing Director of ADM Animal Nutrition’s Aqua division. Saying “Nutrition is very important to a more sustainable aquaculture production”, Rosen talked about ADM's work and solutions for sustainable aquaculture. Mr. Rosen, considering the increasing world population and nutritional needs, what is the importance of the aquaculture industry in terms of food safety? By 2030, the global population is expected to reach 8.5 billion, which is up from 7.8 billion in 20201. Presuming this growth rate continues, projections indicate that more food will need to be produced in the next 40 years than in the past 8,000 years to feed the world1. The planet’s vast oceans provide a variety of protein sources, and consumer demand for seafood has significantly increased. In fact, global hunger for fish is expected to nearly double by 20502. Aquaculture currently supplies about half of the total seafood consumed IS MORE COMPETITIVE AND SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION POSSIBLE? Yoav Rosen, Global Marketing Director, Aqua, ADM Animal Nutrition We had an interview with Yoav Rosen, Global Marketing Director of ADM Animal Nutrition’s Aqua division about “Nutrition for More Sustainable Aquaculture”. Emphasizing the importance of nutrition in the production of sustainable aquaculture, Rosen said: “Although sustainable aquaculture production requires several measures to make a lasting impact, nutritional solutions can support farmers in developing more sustainable ways to provide high-quality food for the world.” Yoav Rosen Global Marketing Director Aqua, ADM Animal Nutrition
