At Atarraya Inc., sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. This year, we took a significant step forward by participating in the Google SFSD Impact Academy, a prestigious program designed to enhance sustainability initiatives through rigorous impact measurement and management.
Over the course of five weeks, our team engaged in a series of intensive sessions covering essential topics such as impact metrics, data collection, and communication strategies. This journey has not only deepened our understanding of sustainable practices but also equipped us with the tools and knowledge to measure and amplify our impact effectively.
We focused on three key areas that distinguish our mission: zero hunger, clean water, and
climate action.
Zero Hunger
The zero hunger insignia is achieved through practical solutions that address food production goals to feed many people. These specific criteria encompass all the qualities that precede the production of that food, such as energy use, transportation, nutrition, and economic viability. Our sustainable aquaculture practices aim to ensure that the food we produce meets these standards and contributes to eradicating hunger.
Clean Water
Our contribution to mitigating impractical water use has earned us the clean water insignia. Throughout the development of the Shrimpbox, we have minimized our interventions with water. We do not discharge water under any circumstances, maintaining a healthy environment within the Shrimpbox through a biological cycle managed by biofloc technology. Water is only taken from the tank for measurement and control purposes, as well as for creating biodynamic fertilizer from the biofloc community. Even in these cases, water usage is minimal and occasional, ensuring balanced levels are maintained.
Climate Action
The climate action insignia recognizes proposals that benefit the environment, particularly in the food supply chain. Our practices ensure that no side effects of our operations impact any part of nature. Our goal is to make our impact untraceable and without a negative footprint, contributing positively to climate action.
There's an extraofficial insignia we strive to earn: raising awareness.We strongly believe education and awareness around climate change and sustainable development are crucial to driving change. We are committed to making information and vision available to everyone, fostering new values about our role in preserving the planet and ensuring it continues to support life in the most graceful way possible.Our path towards a sustainable future is becoming clearer, and these commitments represent significant steps towards creating something truly worthwhile. We are excited to continue this journey and see what greater impact we can achieve in the coming years.
