Swapping ocean for rainforest is the whole margin tell. You don't flip feed ingredients ninety to twenty-three unless the commodity desk already decided land calories price better than marine tonnage, which works fine until the healthy protein positioning crashes into we're clearing jungle to grow beans for fish that rich countries overpay for because the label still says omega threes.

In Norway, the world's biggest producer of farmed salmon, 90 percent of feed ingredients were marine-based in 1990, but by 2020 that had dropped to about 23 percent. Advocacy groups there determined that 90 percent of the soy fed to farmed salmon in Norway comes from three Brazilian companies, each of which have sourced soy ingredients from illegally deforested patches of the Amazon rainforest.
