Society is getting back to normal, travel restrictions are easing, and Skretting and parent company Nutreco are happy to announce that AquaVision 2022 will take place June 13 to 15 in Stavanger, Norway. Leaders of the global aquaculture industry will meet in Stavanger for inspiration and insight into the future of blue, sustainable food.
At the conference industry leaders will share the vision, we will learn how to navigate the future and expand the possibilities of the aquaculture value chain.
AquaVision 2022 seeks to inspire actors in the entire value chain of aquaculture to work towards a food system that can sustainably feed a world population that will reach 10 billion by 2050. With global markets increasingly demanding verifiable sustainable and fully traceable products, it is clear that aquaculture has a critical role to play in feeding a fast-growing global population.
In the spirit of AquaVision, the conference will address the profile of sustainable aquaculture with relevant decision makers. The focus will be on sustainability throughout the supply chains, all the way to the consumers’ table.
AquaVision 2022 seeks to challenge leaders from the worlds of business, food, science, policy and academia to share new knowledge, new thinking, new technologies, and to discuss how best to deliver tangible, positive action that will meet the blue food demands long into the future.
Organised by Skretting and parent company Nutreco since 1996, AquaVision brings leaders and decision makers from across the world together. At this biennial aquaculture business conference, meaningful discussions focus on the challenges and opportunities facing the sector. Recent keynote speakers, including Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Lord Sebastian Coe and Ban Ki-moon, are among those to have shared their unique insights with the industry.
Professor Joseph Stiglitz will be keynote speaker at the world’s premier aquaculture business conference, AquaVision, in Stavanger, Norway, 13-15 June 2022.
In a world where the premise for global business is rapidly changing, business leaders are searching for the answers to how sustainable economic growth and increased seafood production can be achieved. To this end, AquaVision organisers are pleased to announce that Professor Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize winning economist, will be keynote speaker at AquaVision 2022.
With economic policy and global growth or downturn playing an essential role in demanding times, Professor Stiglitz will address the impact of COVID-19, issues with increased raw material costs, inflation and increased interest.
In 2001, Professor Stiglitz was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his analyses of markets with asymmetric information. He was a lead author of the 1995 Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. In 2011 TIME named Professor Stiglitz one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Professor Stiglitz was Chief Economist and Senior Vice-President of the World Bank from 1997-2000. In the last 15 years he has written a series of books that have had enormous influence in shaping global debates. Among his awards are more than 40 honorary doctorates, including from Cambridge and Oxford Universities.
On Professor Stiglitz’s participation at AquaVision 2022, Skretting CEO Therese Log Bergjord says, “We are honoured that Professor Stiglitz will join us. The major contributions he has made – to macroeconomics and monetary theory, to development economics and trade theory, to public and corporate finance, to the theories of industrial organisation and rural organisation, and to the theories of welfare economics and of income and wealth distribution – and the insights that he will bring to AquaVision will benefit the entire audience.
