Consumers are increasingly aware of their impact on the environment and specifically the impact of their consumption habits on environmental health. This is true for seafood consumers as well, with data showing consumers want more sustainable options. Consumers also demonstrated the importance of seafood to them and their families during a year of lockdowns and quarantines in 2020 with record sales of seafood. How can we leverage a consumer shift in awareness and desire to shop better for themselves and for the planet and move the sustainable seafood industry forward? Hear from industry, NGOs, and donors working hard to make sustainable seafood an easy option for consumers, and how they’re approaching sustainability and seafood consumers differently in response to COVID.

In less than a decade, cell-cultured seafood has gone from a niche idea to a multi-million-dollar industry attracting investment from some of the largest companies in the world. While there are still plenty of obstacles between cell-cultured seafood and full-scale commercialization, the industry has seen increasingly rapid progress as multiple companies all work to improve the process and begin production at scale. As the industry grows, it also must begin addressing some of the overarching questions that are still yet to be answered in the industry.
