Our land-based shrimp RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Here’s a breakdown of the most relevant ones:
SDG 2: Zero Hunger
- Contributes to global food security by producing a high-protein, sustainable food source.
- Offers an alternative to wild-caught shrimp, reducing pressure on overfished marine stocks.
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
Controlled RAS environments reduce the need for antibiotics and harmful chemicals, resulting in healthier seafood for consumers.
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
- RAS minimises water usage through recirculation and advanced filtration.
- Waste is contained and treated, reducing the risk of pollution compared to open systems.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- Creates skilled jobs in engineering, aquaculture, and technology.
- Promotes innovation and local economic development through high-tech food production.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Your proprietary RAS is a technological innovation tailored to shrimp biology.
- Supports the development of sustainable aquaculture infrastructure.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- Efficient feed conversion and reduced environmental impact support more sustainable production.
- Traceable, locally produced shrimp reduces supply chain emissions and food miles.
SDG 13: Climate Action
- Lower carbon footprint compared to air-freighted tropical shrimp.
- Potential for renewable energy integration and low-emissions operations.
SDG 14: Life Below Water
- Reduces demand for wild-caught shrimp, helping protect marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
- Prevents habitat destruction (e.g. mangroves) linked to traditional shrimp farming.
