Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-production sector globally, currently accounting for over half of fish consumed by humans. In 2018, global farmed fish production hit approximately 82.1 million tonnes, and was valued at $250 billion. As our population grows, the sector is also set to play an essential role in fulfilling future protein demand sustainably. So how can aquaculture companies and investors safeguard this growth and continue to develop a more sustainable industry?

FAIRR's Faazi Adam talks to Kristina Furnes, Global Communications Manager at Grieg Seafood about the ESG risks facing the booming aquaculture industry and how fish producers are responding to challenges like the global pandemic and climate change.
