Last week, we hosted our 10th Annual Investor Gathering, marking a key milestone in our journey toward healthy, sustainable, and affordable production in the aquaculture industry! Our investor community gathered in the beautiful city of Amsterdam for an afternoon of celebrating our achievements together and looking toward the bright future ahead. The program featured an open discussion on the exciting next phase of Aqua-Spark as well as an in-depth portfolio update, a comprehensive fund performance update, and various inspiring keynote speakers. Following the afternoon full of informative and engaging sessions, we enjoyed a canal cruise and a delicious dinner. A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Investor Gathering! We look forward to growing with you through our next chapter as we continue to transform the global food system. See you next year! #Aquaculture #Impact #Investment

If millions of smallholder farmers are empowered by accessible and relevant technology, we will see the following trends: 🌀 sustainable practices increase yields 🌀 the economies of these communities will be strengthened 🌀 more capital flows to these farmers Aqua-Spark strives to increase smallholder profitability by increasing access to sustainable practices and technologies. Smallholders play a critical role in the food system, and in the future will trend toward a more specific role in the supply chain (e.g. nursing fish) or be serviced by digital marketplaces that leverage smallholders’ sheer numbers enabling increased access quality inputs and access to markets at scale.

Spotlight on #seaweed! There are thousands of species of seaplants, commonly referred to as seaweed. When cultivated, many can regenerate marine ecosystems, offer a source of quality nutrition, be used in animal feed additives, and be transformed into bioplastics, immunostimulants, and biostimulants. Thank you, FAO, for sharing this informative video. #Aquaculture #Regenerative #Sustainability

In order to be a trusted source of high-quality, nutrient-rich food, aquaculture operations need to reduce their antimicrobial reliance. 🐟 At Aqua-Spark, we believe in a food system where aquatic products are healthy and diseases are prevented (e.g. through the adoption of responsible aquaculture practices) rather than treated. Some diseases will occur, but the aquaculture industry of the future will see the rare use of antimicrobials to reduce the risk of AMR, making the world healthier not only for its animals but also for its people.
