\"seafood<\/p>\r\n

The World Wildlife Fund says that shrimp<\/a> is “the most valuable traded seafood by volume, representing $32 billion in annual trade.” With that kind of endorsement, it’s no wonder that farmed shrimp may be a great weapon in combating the growing worldwide demand for animal protein. How? By doing more with less.<\/p>\r\n

Despite that rather heroic outlook, farmed shrimp is seen by some as a very socially and environmentally destructive commodity. Industry businesses have, however, teamed up to address those issues. A new blueprint from the WWF aims to take lessons learned from transforming the shrimp farming industry and apply them to other similar industries. Here’s a quick look at their blueprint for transforming the farmed shrimp industry first.<\/p>\r\n

The Blueprint<\/h1>\r\n

After working in aquatic farming of shrimp for over 20 years, WWF has developed The Blueprint for Future Proofing Shrimp Supply Chains. This is a challenge to \u2013 and roadmap for \u2013 businesses that buy, sell, produce, or benefit from farmed shrimp to achieve the following by 2025:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Traceability <\/a>of farmed shrimp and the feed ingredients used in production<\/li>\r\n
  2. No conversion<\/a> of natural ecosystems post-1999 levels<\/li>\r\n
  3. A 30% decrease in farm and feed use of natural resources<\/a><\/li>\r\n
  4. Secure human and labor rights<\/a> throughout the value chain<\/li>\r\n
  5. Transparent reporting<\/a> to track progress toward goals<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
