Enhancing food security by
Showcasing the world’s leading replacements
for fishmeal, fish oil, and krill for aquaculture.

The F3’s biannual, invitation-only meetings in the San Francisco Bay Area showcase the world’s leading replacements for fishmeal, fish oil, and krill for aquaculture.

The event serves as a forum where leaders from 20+ countries and six continents across the global supply chain – from ingredient suppliers, feed companies, farmers, retailers, and investors – convene to share expertise and champion innovations that support more sustainable aquaculture.

The 2024 meeting will center on krill replacements – the focus of our fourth and current F3 Challenge – and will feature the latest industry advances shaping the future of “fish-free” feed.

Everyone making an effort is a superhero, saving our marine ecosystems, our food and ourselves — our world. 

Aquaculture provides more than half of the world’s seafood and is one of the fastest growing food sectors today. The diets of some of our most popular farmed seafood choices – salmon, bass, and shrimp – rely heavily on wild-caught marine ingredients such as forage fish and krill whose availability varies with climate and if overfished, will threaten the availability of farmed seafood.

The availability of forage fish and krill also affects the existence of other wild-caught fish that depend on them for sustenance, such as tuna, salmon, and cod. The absence of wild and farmed fish, poses a threat not only to 1/5 of global protein but also to global food security.
