"One of the most purposeful roles we can play working within the context of our ocean's abundance is participating in the achievement of global food security," notes Thad Simons, President and CEO of Novus. "People need protein to be healthy and our ocean can be the platform for providing it."
Mr. Simons is one of two Novus keynote speakers scheduled to present during BioMarine 2013. Simons' presentation will take place on Tuesday, September 10th, from 9:00-10:30 a.m., Level 2 Room 200D during the Aquaculture Business Perspectives session. Also on Tuesday, September 10th from 2:30-4:00 p.m., Level 2 Room 200D, Dr. Francisco Saraiva Gomes, Executive Manager, Aqua Solutions for Novus will be speaking during the Opportunities for Sustainable "Next Generation" Aquafeed Ingredients session.
"Aquaculture, like all sectors of agriculture, is subject to market volatility, with risks that include commodity prices, weather conditions, natural disasters and disease," notes Saraiva Gomes. "If producers implement proven models that address risk management as well as sustainable aquaculture systems and practices, they can effectively protect their long-term business sustainability."
In addition to these two presentations, Novus also will be hosting a happy hour that is open to all BioMarine 2013 attendees. The happy hour will be held on Wednesday, September 11th, in the Novus booth, #2, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
