This session is brought to you by Mana Impact and Coastal Natives

Over 18 million tonnes of seafood was extracted from Southeast Asia’s seas in 2020, which is equivalent to the weight of more than one million buses. Our ocean is emptying, yet seafood consumption is expected to rise by almost 80% between 2018 and 2050. The good news? Recent years have seen a boom in the creation of alternative proteins, including plant-based and cell-grown seafoods. These alternatives look like the real deal, taste like the real deal, and without a ‘side serving’ of mass extraction or mortality. Will the public embrace these alternative options? Can it be scaled enough to save our seas? Is it truly possible for people to save our fish, and eat them too? This session will begin with a 10min presentation about overfishing, followed by a panel discussion with expert stakeholders in the alternative seafood space. 

Speakers: Clive Ye (Mana Impact); Dr. Louis Kutzler (Umami Bioworks); Thiru Reddy (The Good Food Institute); Naomi Clark-Shen (Rumah Foundation)
