Washington, DC: An estimated 25 million tons of fish is used in animal feed per year. Is there an alternative to feeding livestock from a dwindling marine resource? In the next episode of the Environmental Law Institute’s People Places Planet Podcast, Kasantha Moodley, ELI’s Manager of Innovation and Governance, interviews the co-founders of Grubbly Farms, Patrick Pittaluga and Sean Warner. They discuss the beginnings of Grubby Farms, a fly farming operation, an idea that if scaled, could avoid depleting global fish stocks, to feed livestock.
This episode is the first in a series presented by the ELI Innovation Lab, an initiative of the Environmental Law Institute, working to drive environmental performance. The series, Environmental Disruptors, features a diverse set of innovators (including entrepreneurs and inventors and government officials), and shares stories of their work to transform conventional systems to create a more equitable and sustainable world. The episode is scheduled for release on February 6, 2019, at noon EST.
