From Italy and French Polynesia to New Zealand and Australia, Roberta Marcoli has committed herself to research in aquaculture. Roberta’s energy is infectious and we learnt so much about the ocean and the world under the sea, how it has evolved to where it is today and how it can help shape the future. 

Roberta understands how communities around the world rely on fish, and how we can ensure we are not depleting our ocean resources through fishing activity. 

Co-hosts Oli Le Lievre and Milly Nolan sat down with Roberta at evokeAG. 2024 after her Future Young Leader presentation. She was on stage for 10min in a TED talk style delivery that had us engaged from start to finish. 

We talk about her journey, the evolution of aquaculture, how consumer sentiment has changed, what to look for when purchasing fish as consumers, wild caught vs. farmed and the opportunity for farmed fish to have an impact in feeding the world in a sustainable way. 

Our #FutureYoungLeader stories are proudly sponsored by 2024 AgriFutures evokeAG. evokeAG. 2025 applications will open later in 2024.
