A new study by World Wildlife Fund conducted in Vietnam and Thailand finds more intensive shrimp farming can yield better environmental and economic results. By producing more shrimp per hectare of land, farmers can increase production to meet growing demand for shrimp without increasing pressure on the region’s natural resources.

A rapidly growing global population, accelerating consumption, dietary shifts, climate change and other factors are driving unprecedented price volatility, resource shortages, and other risks in soft commodity supply chains. These challenges pose material, reputational, and systemic risk to investors. WWF seeks to untangle this complexity. Providing distilled guidance based on leading industry practice, The 2050 Criteria is designed to serve as a field guide for investors to access mainstream agricultural, forest, and seafood commodities in a responsible manner.

Through the Shrimp Aquaculture Dialogue (ShAD), performance-based standards for shrimp farming have been developed. This document provides the final draft of the principles and criteria. The final standards will help minimize the key environmental and social impacts related to shrimp farming.

Through the Shrimp Aquaculture Dialogue (ShAD), performance-based standards for shrimp farming are being developed. This document provides the second draft of the principles and criteria that will form the final standards. When completed, the final standards will help minimize the key environmental and social impacts related to shrimp farming.
