Now selling pound for pound more than beef and with entrepreneurs casting a wider net into the inland fishing trade, the global aqua industry may soon be larger than the worldwide poultry market and, in Norway, could generate more revenue than oil by 2050.
But will there be enough water? Can we find a substitute for a depleting US$5 billion fish oil industry? How can fish farmers tap into the US$10 billion potential of seaweed? These questions and more will be explored during Aqua: Protein of the Future at the Alltech REBELation Week, May 17-20.
A comprehensive colloquium, Aqua: Protein of the Future speakers will include Dr Ron Hardy, Aquaculture Research Institute, George Chamberlain, Global Aquaculture Alliance, and Tanja Hoel, Norsk Sjomatsenter, and will present attendees with the opportunity to discuss topics ranging from algae and fish health to nutrition and crisis management.
This special symposium is part of Alltech REBELation, an event exploring innovation, inspiration and world-changing ideas in Lexington, Ky., USA, from May 17-20. Aqua: Protein of the Future sessions begin on May 18, but pre-conference events include an opportunity to savor the best in brews from across the Bluegrass and around the world at the second annual Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fest on May 16.
Registration for Alltech REBELation is open now for a discounted rate until March 7 at 11:59 pm EST.
