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.

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.

The seafood industry is often under the microscope during a food borne outbreak and when the evidence is strong it is always followed by a recall; some out of extreme precautionary measures and others out of necessity. Even without an official recall, the threat of contamination is ever-present.
With a rise in food-related recalls in recent years, traceability systems are essential to identify the source of the problem and take appropriate corrective measures. Without a strong traceability capability, it will be harder to pinpoint the sources of contamination, and if you have a recall, you will likely end up disposing an excessive amount of product and lose money. Learn how to protect your company and take the correct precautions.
A proposal to develop what could possibly be the world’s largest gold and copper mine, which was shelved during the administration of former U.S. President Barack Obama, recently received a fresh lease on life under the administration of President Donald Trump, a champion of increased domestic mining.
This month, SeafoodSource presents a new report, Appraising Proteins: American Consumer Behavior at the Retail Level, the result of a comprehensive survey of seafood consumers in the United States discussing grocery shopping behavior, eating habits and budgets, all with an eye toward comparing seafood to other key proteins such as beef, pork and chicken. SeafoodSource Market Research Analyst Kerry Gross will join us to talk about some of the key demographics covered in the report, and tell us more about how seafood fares on America's dinner plate.
