With a steady increase of food demand, with already nearly one billion people undernourished, fishfarmers have a difficult mission. We are a experts in aquaculture, have the responsibility to offer farmers solutions and support for sustainable aquaculture.
Sustainable aquaculture can make a positive difference.Sustainable aquaculture should aim at:
· Increasing productivity without affecting the capacity of soil and water to regenerate and to be maintained in good conditions
· producing high quality, safe, healthy food
· generating enough income for farms to keep them going
· delivering ecosystem services (preserve valuable habitats, biodiversity, genes)
· improving quality of life in rural areas
· strengthening the economy
· contributing to a balanced territorial development
· ensuring animal welfare
Setting aquaculture production onto a sustainable growth path will be possible only with major research and innovation efforts.The application of sustainable aquaculture practices by all fishfarmers in Egypt is a long-term investment in a sustainable competitiveness
