OVERVIEW

Using technology to feed a growing need

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

84%

decline in freshwater species populations over the last 50 years

240K

square kilometers of ocean ecosystems affected by excessive nutrient pollution

80%

rise in global fish consumption expected by mid-century

/
THE SOLUTION

Using data to make better decisions faster

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.

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.

PARTNERSHIPS

Tidal and Cognizant—dedicated to sea-change

Tidal began as an Alphabet Moonshot Factory project to enhance our understanding of ocean health and the impact of climate change by helping organizations gain unprecedented visibility into the intricate aquatic relationships and ecosystems they rely on.

At Cognizant, we’re helping integrate these technologies into the enterprises that drive the Blue Economy forward, linking data and insights from across their organizations to improve efficiency and sustainability.

OUR AMBITION

Advocating for change on a global scale

Achieving sustainable growth in the aquaculture industry means gathering input from a variety of stakeholders—individuals, companies, farms, animals and the environment.

That’s why Cognizant Ocean examines not only the physical aspects of production, like fish pens and animal welfare, but also the broader business ecosystem—regulators, feed producers, hatcheries, processors, retailers and more

By understanding these roles and interactions, we help our clients navigate complexity and make a meaningful, measurable difference in the long-term health and welfare of global ecosystems, local communities and the future of their business.

The time to act is now, the partner of choice is Cognizant.
