Transforming the world's food and agriculture systems is essential to feed the growing global population within planetary boundaries. To support this transition, Nestlé is engaged in research collaborations exploring innovative food production practices across the value chain, including marine production systems. Together with external partners in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, the Nestlé Institute of Agricultural Sciences is researching the potential environmental benefits and scalability of an innovative aquaculture approach. Aquaculture has the potential to improve the sustainability of our food systems, from low-carbon ingredients in foods to algal bioplastics for packaging. One approach involves farming different aquatic species from various levels of the food chain together. Known as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, it can enable the waste from one species to serve as food for another – a natural recycling process that helps to maintain water quality. This species diversification can also help to improve biodiversity and income stability for farmers. |
