Esther Luiten, Commercial Director of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council and Board Member of the Global Shrimp Forum Foundation said, “After a successful session about Climate at last year´s Global Shrimp Forum, the topic will return to 2024 programme. Whilst shrimp and seafood in general are often seen as relatively climate friendly protein options, we are seeing an increasing focus across the shrimp supply chain on greenhouse gas emissions. I greatly look forward to this session, where we will showcase market driven initiatives to reduce carbon footprint, in a way that also brings benefits to producers.”
