Seafood is a rapidly-expanding category in the CPG space. However, the controversy about wild versus farmed seafood has created misinformation among consumers. Farmed seafood like salmon is believed to be contaminated with chemicals, pathogens, dyes, and antibiotics. How can you educate consumers about sustainable aquaculture?
As an advocate for sustainably-produced food, Daniel Del Coro is leading the initiative to destigmatize farmed salmon. With the world’s population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, food production must increase by 60%, so responsibly-managed seafood farms are crucial to ensure quality food. You can develop informative and engaging campaigns to educate consumers about the differences between farmed and wild-caught seafood, creating space in the market for both production methods.
