Sustainable Growth: The Rising Trend of Alternative Proteins in Aquaculture
Abstract
Aquaculture is undergoing a significant transformation with the increasing adoption of alternative proteins. This emerging trend responds to the need to make the industry more sustainable. Alternative proteins, derived from sources such as insects and plants, are gaining ground due to their reduced ecological footprint and contribution to food security. This article explores the growing adoption of these proteins in aquaculture, analysing their positive impact on the environment and the resilience of the industry. The sustainable approach to alternative proteins emerges as a cornerstone for a more environmentally friendly future in fish farming.
