Tilapia aquaculture has become an important sector in the global fisheries industry, not only to meet human food needs, but also as part of the great effort in realizing Blue Transformation and Global Food Security.
What is Blue Transformation?
Blue Transformation is an approach that focuses on the sustainability of aquatic and marine ecosystems. The concept encompasses efforts to transform the marine and fisheries industry to be more environmentally friendly, support the blue economy, and ensure that marine resources are managed wisely for future generations. In the context of fish farming, blue transformation aims to:
- Reducing Negative Impacts on the Environment: Environmentally friendly farming practices, such as good waste management, use of sustainable fish feed, and strict water quality monitoring.
- Improving Production Efficiency: Using the latest technology to increase fish production yields without compromising the quality or sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.
- Supporting Local Communities: Improving the welfare of workers and surrounding communities by creating fair and safe jobs.
Regal Springs Indonesia is committed to implementing these principles in its tilapia farming operations, to ensure that the farming process is not only economically profitable, but also environmentally and socially sustainable.
What is Global Food Security?
Global Food Security refers to the availability of sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet the nutritional needs of the entire world population. It encompasses three main aspects: stable food availability, equitable food accessibility for all, and food quality and safety free from contamination.
Global food security is a major challenge facing the world today, especially with the projected rapid population growth. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) estimates that around 3 billion people depend on fish as their main source of animal protein. With the growing need for safe and nutritious food, the fisheries sector must adapt to ensure that seafood supplies are maintained and free from contamination.
Tilapia aquaculture plays an important role in meeting the world’s food needs, as the fish is known for its fast growth and high resistance to various environmental conditions. Through a sustainable approach, tilapia farming can be a safe and environmentally friendly solution to global food security.
