BioMar and Cefetra Join Forces to Cut Emissions from Crop to Coast
September 8, 2025 | 1 min to read
BioMar and Cefetra have launched a partnership aimed at reducing emissions from vegetable-based ingredients in aquaculture diets. With aquaculture now constituting 51 percent of global aquatic output, the collaboration targets the critical issue of emissions linked to feed sourcing. By leveraging their expertise, they strive to cut emissions at the source, promote regenerative farming practices, and enhance the connection between crop production and fish farming, addressing a significant challenge for the industry.
Cefetra, a leader in agricultural supply chains, and BioMar, a global producer of aquaculture feed, have formed a new partnership to reduce emissions from key vegetable-based ingredients in aquaculture diets.
As the world’s population grows, the need for efficient and responsible food production continues to rise. In 2022, aquaculture surpassed capture fisheries for the first time, contributing 51 percent of the total global output of aquatic animals. While aquaculture already has one of the lowest feed conversion ratios in animal farming, more than 80 percent of fish emissions are linked to feed and raw material sourcing. Reducing these emissions and improving supply chain resilience is therefore a shared challenge for the sector.
By combining expertise from agriculture and aquaculture, BioMar and Cefetra are addressing this challenge head-on. The collaboration focuses on cutting emissions at the source, supporting farmers in the transition to regenerative practices, and strengthening the link between crop production and fish farming.
