The recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is quickly modernizing fish farming, offering a solution to overcoming many of aquaculture’s obstacles. Is RAS the key to a more sustainable future for aquaculture? Gijs Rutjes, technical sales support manager at Coppens International, joins us to discuss the benefits — and challenges — of RAS, and offers his advice for producers as they consider implementing the system.

Now in its seventh year of analysis, the Global Feed Survey continues to serve as a valuable report on the state of the global feed industry. In addition to its insights into the feed industry itself, the report serves as a barometer for agriculture as a whole, and demonstrates the economic strength of the countries surveyed. What can we learn from the 1.068 billion tons of feed produced globally? Aidan Connolly, chief innovation officer and vice president of corporate accounts at Alltech, mined the data to cultivate seven key findings.
