The 2024 Excellence in Sustainable Aquaculture and Fisheries Award winner was Naomi D Smith from the University of Plymouth UK
dsm-firmenich, the leading innovator in nutrition, health and beauty, awarded Naomi D Smith for Excellence in Sustainable Aquaculture and Fisheries. Ms Smith ranked as the top student from the MSc Sustainable Aquaculture programme in the School of Biological and Marine Sciences at the University of Plymouth in the UK.
The award recognises the students’ exceptional commitment and contribution to advancing sustainable aquaculture practices, showing exemplary work in promoting environmentally sustainable fisheries and aquaculture systems.
Aquaculture and fisheries are essential to feeding the world’s growing population, however, to achieve this, it must be done in a way that is sustainable in light of climate change. There is an urgent need to provide enough animal protein, while also reducing the environmental impact of production.
To make aquaculture and fisheries more sustainable lies in the use of smart science and innovative solutions. It’s crucial to raise awareness around sustainable farming and highlight the innovative technologies that are available to improve the health and production of aquatic species.
Dr Benedict Standen, Head of Aquaculture Marketing at dsm-firmenich states “we are committed to leading a global transformation in sustainable animal protein production, providing industry-leading solutions that support farmers in reducing their environmental impact and build truly sustainable aquatic food systems.”
