“Optional side events complement the programme, focusing on market access through certification, emerging EU regulations, and fisheries management’s role in improving food security. We are grateful to all the conference’s sponsors and our side event partners, MarinTrust, GOED and the Global Roundtable on Marine Ingredients,” said IFFO director general Petter Martin Johannessen.
