She is one of the go to women experts in our industry.  Amy brings almost two decades of experience in fostering collaborative solutions to some of the world’s big challenges. From helping to start the Social Policy Action Network, bringing together policy makers, academics, journalists and grassroots organizations to tackle pressing social policy issues, to developing and producing Chat the Planet, a web and television entity that bridged young people globally and to serving as director of the TED Conference’s annual TED Prize for almost a decade, leading more than twenty global collaborations across a broad spectrum of sectors, including healthcare, education, science, technology, conservation, art, and activism.

With Aqua-Spark Amy serves on the boards of eFishery, Energaia and Xpert Sea.
In this episode, we are grateful to have the founder of Spheric Research, Matt Craze.  Spheric Research’s value proposition in the briefest terms is to provide key insights into the food industry, especially in the areas of seafood and aquaculture.Aquaculture is the world’s fastest growing food sector. It’s an industry that the United Nation’s Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) sees as critical to meeting the protein needs of a growing world population. However, it’s also a sector that has struggled to shake off a bad reputation for its environmental footprint.Part of the misconception arises from the fact that the seafood industry is fragmented, mostly privately owned and concentrated in little-understood emerging market nations. Matt Craze, who helped establish commodities news desks for Bloomberg LLP in various parts of the world, founded Spheric Research in 2017 to provide key insights into the seafood sector. No major financial news publication — from the Economist to the Financial Times — has ever provided specialist news coverage of this $100 billion+ industry, which explains why seafood is so little understood from the outside.  
In this podcast, Tim Kennedy discussed:What government rules are blocking the development of aquaculture?How can companies help to change this?What will the sector look like in 10 years?What will not change in the next decade?Enjoy this episode and remember to review, share, and subscribe to the podcast!
