The world’s largest agricultural commodities trader has set a path to cut emissions from salmon farming.
Cargill Inc., a top provider of feed to the seafood industry, will work with customers to reduce the footprint of farmed salmon by 30% by 2030, the company said in a statement. A large part of the effort will target feed, which accounts for as much as 90% of salmon’s environmental impact.
