Ex-UN head, Ban Ki-Moon, to speak at AquaVision 2018

Star billing . . . Ban Ki Moon is among the delegates discussing the aquaculture industry's future at Aquavision 2018

Former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, will be keynote speaker at AquaVision 2018 in Stavanger, Norway, organizers of the event — including feed producer, Skretting — have announced.

Ban will talk about “food security” and the need for global food production to grow 70 percent by 2050, a UN Food Organization number.

The conference will explore ways aquaculture can contribute to feeding a growing world population “sustainably”.

The AquaVision — organised by Skretting and its parent company Nutreco since 1996 — runs from June 11th to 12th. Some 400 delegates from about 40 countries are expected.
