Group pushes aquaculture investments in lakes, dams
Excerpt
An advocacy group is urging the government to open investments in dams, rivers and lakes for aquaculture as means to boost the country’s food security and provide alternative protein sources amid rising pork and chicken prices. Tugon Kabuhayan said the country’s bodies of water have great potential for aquaculture production, which is a growing segment of the country’s fisheries sector. The group pointed out that boosting aquaculture production would provide more supply of cheaper alternative protein sources for pork and chicken.
