Other countries investment in aquaculture
While Love et al. 2017 shows a large investment in aquaculture research and development…. it’s clear the U.S. does not invest or see the value in aquatic production like other countries

Development
- Farmer education –
1) active leadership development to promote strengthened associations (a known precursor to a strong industry) 2) technical training workshops developed with the industry involved and engaged
- Consumer education –
1) Benefits of seafood and sustainable protein cultured in the Midwest 2) How to cook seafood

Development
- Farmers – reach out - work with the researchers and
extension folks
- Extension – be that facilitator
- Researchers – work with extension and farmers
- “A rising tide lifts all ships”

Our future?
- Crystal ball is 404
- However, active engagement by all will help the industry
Listen and identify Develop a program to address what’s found Nurse the program Facilitate in the technology transfer Hand it off to the industry and address the next item found
