Seaweed sector up and coming
Aquaculture, the fastest growing food production sector in the world, is now responsible for over half of global seafood production.
Seaweed farming has attracted several new entrants, Minister of State Timmy Dooley told the Irish Farmers Association’s aquaculture committee’s annual conference in Limerick.
He also revealed that early innovation projects are currently being carried out by researchers, which in time, should support further development of the sector.
