The Global Salmon Initiative is a leadership initiative established by leading farmed salmon CEOs from around the world who share a vision of providing a healthy and sustainable source of protein to feed a growing population, while minimizing their environmental footprint, and continuing to improve their social contribution.
This lecture will be a little different than our usual series, as the speaker will be connecting with us via video-conference software, called Zoom. The public can also join via Zoom, see the link information below.
About the Topic
The rapid growth of aquaculture has resulted in heightened worries about its environmental impact. While there are many individual initiatives that address the issue, what is needed is broad change at speed and scale. Dr. Avrim Lazar will share his direct experience leading two initiatives that are attempting sector-wide change, reviewing the lessons learned.
