Fund Helps Finance Responsible Shrimp Farming - The Fish Site

Fund Helps Finance Responsible Shrimp Farming - The Fish Site:



"GLOBAL - In order to help shrimp farmers finance a transition towards responsible shrimp production, a Farmers in Transition (FIT) Fund has been launched by the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) at the European Seafood Exposition in Brussels.



Responsible production will reduce negative impacts on the environment and local communities, while complying with food safety requirements. The US-based David and Lucile Packard Foundation has indicated its interest to develop a partnership in support of the FIT Fund.



Shrimp is one of the most popular types of seafood. Approximately five million tons are consumed annually. One-third of the shrimp we eat are farmed."
