The Blue Economy
"The Blue Economy, Making Your Tomorrow, Today".
As climate change affects the land suitable for growing crops and rearing livestock, the world is now looking towards the marine environment to provide a sustainable source of food and other products to keep a growing population healthy. It is important that a balance is maintained between aquaculture and traditional fisheries. Both industries and the processing industry have a vital role to play in providing tomorrow's sustainable food source. Simon plays an active part in advising Governments and other groups on all aspects of the Blue Economy.
