Colombian Aquafarming
Why Aquafarming?
As the world population grows, so does the demand for fish. Fishing resources are finite and 86%* of marine fish stocks are either fully exploited or overfished. The solution? Aquafarming.
About one in every two fish consumed worldwide is farm-raised. The faster the aquaculture industry grows, the greater its potential impact on the environment and local communities. And Pezco is here to assist in this grow.
