WWF-US Aquaculture Strategy

The WWF-US Aquaculture Strategy aims to transition global aquaculture toward sustainable models by prioritizing alternative feed solutions, reducing environmental footprints, and ensuring social equity. Key goals include a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from aquaculture and feed supply chains by 2030 and the elimination of forage fish in feeds. The strategy emphasizes the adoption of precision feeding via AI, the use of alternative proteins such as insect and microalgae, and the implementation of circular economy principles to recover nutrients from waste.

• WWF-US aims to achieve a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from aquaculture and feed supply chains by 2030 through the use of innovative feed solutions.
• The strategy seeks to eliminate the use of forage fish in feeds and remove habitat destruction linked to the production of feed ingredients.
• To improve sustainability, the strategy promotes scaling alternative proteins—including insect protein, mycoproteins, single-cell proteins, macroalgae, and microalgae—and adopting genetically engineered fish oil substitutes such as modified canola and soy.
• The strategy advocates for the integration of technology and circular economy principles, specifically using AI for precision feeding and utilizing agricultural residues, poultry wastewater, and fish sludge in feed production.
• The framework addresses social and health risks by targeting the reduction of antibiotic reliance, ensuring ethical labor conditions, and supporting small-scale farmers.
