“The impact from food production is a balance of positive and negative elements. It is not only emissions; it is also workplaces and value creation,” says CEO Geir Molvik.

"Aquaculture is strongly weighted towards the positive side and we aim to improve this even further".

"Global challenges require cooperation on global solutions. In the end, it is all about sustainability and how we together can support the internationally shared goals to cap rising global temperature at 1.5°C, and feed a growing global population with nutritious, healthy and sustainable food", adds Molvik.

All food production creates a footprint, often measured as the environmental impact – such as CO2 equivalent emissions, arable land used, freshwater use or waste product produced.
