Eco-Friendly Aquafeeds : Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Aquaculture Ingredients through Innovation

This report brings together a set of case studies and analyses designed to give World Bank task team leaders (TTLs) practical examples of the economic value, societal benefits, and ecosystem services associated with restorative aquaculture (practices that enhance ecosystem functions), extractive aquaculture (practices that remove excess nutrients, for example, using seaweed, shellfish, or sea cucumbers), and non-fed aquaculture (the farming of species that do not require external feed inputs, like filter-feeding mollusks) integrated into landscapes and seascapes. The goal is to help TTLs make informed decisions, develop effective project strategies, and contribute to the improvement of food security, nutrition, job creation, climate change mitigation, biodiversity enhancement, and other objectives in their respective aquaculture projects
