Towards a sustainable food future

By 2050, the world must feed 10 billion people. It is estimated that the demand for food will be 60% greater than it is today.

 

Ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture are placed second in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations for the year 2030.

 

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food-producing sector in the world. It makes a significant contribution to food security, and helps fill the gap between the rising global demand for fishery products and the decline in capture fisheries production.

 

Kings Infra Ventures Limited (KINGSINFR) promotes responsible food systems contributing to a sustainable food future.

"To ensure a food secure future for all, the fisheries and aquaculture sector is key."
