The Ocean: a source of life in danger
Why
The ocean is the primary source of life on our planet: producer of oxygen, climate regulator, and 3 billion people depend on it for their livelihood.
But its health is damaged by human activities.
Overconsumption of fish is the main source of biodiversity destruction.
Revolutionize the food system
Mission
By changing the food system, we contribute to the protection of marine ecosystems, human health, and animal welfare, as well as the transition to a fair and sustainable food system for everyone.
We primarily target intermediate actors with high leverage effects: collective catering and large-scale distribution.
In France, we are working to stop the consumption of intensive industrial salmon; we will target other species to protect thereafter.
Our first commitment
Salmon
We are concentrating our efforts on species that are emblematic of intensive aquaculture, starting with salmon.
A wild species that has almost disappeared from the Atlantic; massively farmed in factory farms.
France is Europe's leading consumer of salmon, and 4th worldwide, with a +30% increase in demand over 15 years and 99% of it being imported.
The negative impacts are numerous: a carbon bomb, unequal access to food, biodiversity decline, and animal suffering.
