FAIRR report launch: Shallow returns? ESG risks and opportunities in aquaculture

Aquaculture, or fish farming, has recently overtaken wild fishing as the predominant method of seafood production worldwide. Yet little is understood about the emerging ESG risks associated with this growth.

FAIRR’s new research analyses the issues set to shape the future of this fast-growing industry and assesses innovations that aim to alleviate the sustainability pressures it faces – including disease outbreaks, marine pollution and its reliance on diminishing fish stocks.

Join us to launch our new report, ‘Shallow returns? ESG risks and opportunities in aquaculture’ to find out more.
