BioMar and Ceftera Join Forces to Reduce Aquaculture Feed Emissions
In a significant move toward enhancing sustainability in aquaculture, Denmark-based feed organization BioMar has partnered with UK-based agricultural group Ceftera. This alliance is focused on reducing emissions associated with essential vegetable-based ingredients used in aquaculture feed.
Targeting Emissions at the Source
The collaborative initiative, which will launch in the UK, aims to cut emissions directly at the source. BioMar and Ceftera will support farmers in their journey toward adopting regenerative agricultural practices. This partnership underscores the vital connection between crop cultivation and fish farming, highlighting their shared goal of reducing the environmental impact of aquaculture feeds.
Why the UK is the Starting Point
“The presence of engaged farmers, availability of regeneratively grown products, and strong commitments from UK retailers made the UK a natural place to start,” said Lindsay Pollock, BioMar’s Sourcing Sustainability Lead, in a statement to IntraFish.
The Future of Sustainable Aquaculture
This partnership represents a critical step forward in efforts to enhance sustainability practices within the aquaculture sector. By focusing on emissions from feed ingredients, BioMar and Ceftera are not only contributing to environmental goals but are also paving the way for a more sustainable future in fish farming.
As the initiative progresses, it will be important for stakeholders in both agriculture and aquaculture to collaborate, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to environmental stewardship in the food supply chain.
