Realizing the true potential of blue foods
The Selva Shrimp program in Vietnam promotes regenerative, nature-based farming of shellfish in combination with restoration of mangroves: Shrimp, crab, mollusks, and filter feeding fish are raised by small-scale farmers in intertidal zones where they thrive as part of the natural food web. 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!
