Today there are more people on the planet than have ever died! We will eat more food on Earth in the next fifty years than has been consumed in all of history! Seafood production is an IMPERATIVE for our future, and responsibly farmed seafood is part of the solution. In order to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we must double our aquaculture production.
Manna Ocean Foundation (MOF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with an urgent mission to support sustainable aquaculture production. MOF seeks to encourage responsible farmers of seafood. The MOF Mission includes outreach and education programs to teach about Aquaculture. This mission necessarily includes the promotion of U.S. responsibly produced seafood. To that end, Manna Ocean Foundation is excited to officially announce the launch of our Organic Certification Program!
Today in the United States we are experiencing an annual trade deficit in seafood of approximately 14.5 Billion Dollars. Currently in the U.S., over 90% of the seafood consumed is imported. It is anticipated that the Manna Ocean Foundation Organic Seafood Certification Program will drive sales of U.S. farmed product, as well as provide assurance that seafood is farmed in accordance with Organic Standards of Canada.
