VP Policy and Impact

We are facing a drastic change in the world's food system where we must harvest and produce more food in a more sustainable way to meet the needs of a rapidly growing world population. Krill fishery is considered one of the world's most sustainable fisheries, and with its functional qualities for growth and health is one part of the solution for the feed industry of the future.
