Blueyou ’s Post

Global Food Systems need urgent Reform Integrated mangrove aquaculture offers a viable solution for degraded intertidal zones in the tropics: Multiple species of shrimp, crab, filter-feeding fish and bivalve mollusks are naturally raised in ponds which have been restored with mangroves. The mangroves provide shelter and food for aquatic species to thrive, creating a regenerative food production system that does not depend on any external inputs such as feed or fertilizers. This unique food system does not only supply local people and global markets with healthy, high-quality seafood, but captures carbon, raises biodiversity and increases the resilience of coastal communities! Blueyou’s continuous efforts and leadership in promoting and scaling-up integrated mangrove farming systems across Asia have been recognized by the Food Planet Prize – where Blueyou made it to the longlist of applicants for this year’s prize!
