As market incentives and regulatory drivers increase pressure on food and other natural resource sectors to deliver a more traceable product to market, companies are weighing when and how to invest in better supply chain oversight.

At the same time, governments, charitable foundations, aid agencies, and NGOs are designing strategies and incentives to increase traceability and disclosure on production and processing methods associated with food systems.

To help seafood companies understand how the traceability landscape will develop in seafood and to get a better sense of how to efficiently support the adoption of traceability in seafood, this event will look at:

Trends and insights from traceability adoption in other industries,
How to leverage opportunities and address barriers to traceability adoption in seafood and what this means for the future of traceability adoption in seafood.
