The nominated episode, called Farming the Sea, features lifestyle guru Martha Stewart visiting a scallop farm off the coast of Maine.
Produced by Andrew Zimmern’s Intuitive Content and executive produced by Patrick Weiland, the series explores the frontlines of ocean innovation – spotlighting scientists, entrepreneurs and communities working to revolutionise the way we source and consume seafood. It also dives deep into sustainable solutions to protect marine ecosystems and address the global food crisis.
“We are incredibly honoured by this Emmy nomination,” said Patrick Weiland, executive producer at Intuitive Content in a press release. “This recognition affirms the importance of science-based storytelling in addressing urgent food system challenges. It’s a tribute to the passionate individuals and communities we featured who are reshaping the future of foods from water and the contribution they will make to future food systems.”
Featuring powerful voices such as Shailene Woodley, Martha Stewart and Baratunde Thurston, Hope in the Water has reached millions of viewers and sparked nationwide conversations about ocean health, sustainable aquaculture and responsible food systems.
The winners will be announced on June 25, during the News & Documentary Emmy Awards ceremony in New York City.
