"The partnership with FAI has been an important step for us in advancing the welfare of tilapia throughout our production chain. We found in FAI a level of technical knowledge and practical depth that speaks directly to what we seek to build at BTJ Aqua. The FAI Academy, combined with the field evaluations and the use of the Tilapia Welfare App, has strengthened our training processes and helped us to have a more consistent and structured view of animal welfare in practice. This allows us to evolve with more clarity, responsibility and alignment to the highest standards, always with a focus on continuous improvement."

"The FAI courses and the Tilapia Welfare App represent a significant step forward in advancing aquaculture practices. I have benefited greatly from both, as they have significantly enhanced my knowledge and practical expertise in aquaculture. The online courses provide a flexible and accessible platform for farmers and professionals to gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills. The Tilapia Welfare App complements this learning by offering an easy-to-use tool for assessing fish welfare indicators, helping farmers apply what they've learned in real-time to ensure better care and management of tilapia."

This shared focus on welfare is essential for building a more responsible and sustainable aquaculture sector in the future."
