Damu’s Heritage Dine is quietly leading a food revolution.
Their mission: bringing ancient mountain flavors back to life, one traditional dish at a time.

We showcase application of the AGI framework through the case of disease management in three salmon producing countries: Norway, Chile, Canada
Our article presents a comprehensive set of governance indicators developed to capture not only state-led processes, but also collaborative dynamics between government, industry and civil society organizations, focusing on environmental challenges associated with fish farming practices.
