Here is Rauch president Eva Douzinas’ interview on BBC World Television discussing industrial fish farming on #WorldOceansDay and making the point that an industry using more wild fish, pound for pound, to feed the amount of farmed fish it produces can hardly be called “sustainable.” #FishFarmsOut
Great to have Eva Douzinas, President of the Rauch Foundation as one of our Global leader interviews on BBC World television discussing fish farming. Over 160 groups from around the World will present an open letter to the UN’s FAO, demanding that carnivorous fish farms be excluded from its definition of ‘sustainable aquaculture’. The move on World Oceans Day, will urge the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to re-evaluate its support of fish farms. Carnivorous fish farms – where the fish are fed fishmeal and fish oil extracted from wild fish, have been criticised for the negative impact they have on the environment. Global returns for aquaproduction, recorded by the FAO, was estimated at 406 billion dollars in 2020. Many thanks to Hannah Kapff and Maddy Lowe from Curious PR for all their help making this happen.
