🕒 Date: 1 August 2024 (Thursday) | Time: 7-8pm (SGT)
Why should Gen Z consider the aquaculture industry?
Climate change, exacerbated by global warming, poses unprecedented challenges to our planet. With rising temperatures disrupting aquatic ecosystems and threatening fish stocks and food security, Gen Z find themselves at the forefront of inheriting these environmental challenges. The need for sustainable solutions has never been more urgent.
Aquaculture provides a sustainable pathway to secure food sources while safeguarding wild fish populations. Moreover, the aquaculture industry is a vital component of the ambitious "30 by 30" goal set by the Singaporean government, aiming to elevate local food production to 30% of total food by 2030.
So, where does Gen Z fit into this equation?
Come join us in a virtual masterclass led by Dr Fanny Yasumaru, where we will dive into 10 interesting facts about aquaculture and explore how they make the industry ideal for Gen Z.
