AquaVision

Nutreco and Skretting coorganised the AquaVision multi-stakeholder aquaculture business conference in Stavanger, Norway, in September 2008. The conference in Stavanger attracted around 400 delegates from 26 countries on five continents to two days of discussions under the themes of ‘Know the Fundamentals’ and ‘Create Your Future’.

Nutreco CEO Wout Dekker closed the conference, emphasising that innovation is essential for future food security. “At this AquaVision the cry for new knowledge has been louder than in any previous AquaVision or Agri Vision conference. We are in a period of ‘agflation’ with high food prices and volatile commodity markets and agflation will drive innovation.

“While there have been common themes running through previous conferences, today the themes are dominated by the realisation that with a growing world population of people with more money to spend and limited world resources, food security is no longer a given. To feed the world, we need innovation. More than that, the companies that will succeed are those that ensure food safety and sustainability.”

Agri Vision

Alternating with AquaVision, Nutreco organises the biennial Agri Vision conference in Noordwijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, for top agri and food business executives. The 2009 conference is planned for 16–18 June with the theme ‘Shifting Horizons — Inspiration, Innovation and Impact in the feed-to-food chain’. The focus will be on the roles of technology and people in closing the appearing global gap between the long-term growing demand for food and the volatile availability of resources.
