OVERVIEW
<h4><span style="color: #000048;">Using technology to feed a growing need</span></h4>

Water covers over 70% of the Earth’s surface. Yet only 2% of the world’s food comes from aquatic sources. As the population continues to grow and pressures on land-based farming increase, many experts are looking to the ocean.

But realizing this potential in a responsible, sustainable way is one of the greatest challenges facing the aquaculture industry. It will require new ways of thinking and acting. New methods of collecting and analyzing data. And resilient digital ecosystems powered by advanced technologies to streamline operations, uncover new opportunities and improve sustainability—on a global scale.

And that’s where we come in.

THE CHALLENGE

Balancing increased demand with sustainable production

<h2>84%</h2>
decline in freshwater species populations over the last 50 years
<h2>240K</h2>
square kilometers of ocean ecosystems affected by excessive nutrient pollution
<h2>80%</h2>
rise in global fish consumption expected by mid-century
THE SOLUTION
<h4>Using data to make better decisions faster</h4> <p>Imagine if fish could tell us exactly what they need to maximize health and growth. Or feed formulas could be optimized based actual farm data. All in real time.</p> <p>At Cognizant Ocean, we can help you collect and analyze the data needed to increase sustainability, reduce carbon emissions, unlock new opportunities and increase the overall health and yield of fish stocks.&nbsp;</p>
