Prominence Of Aquaculture

Aquaculture can greatly contribute to and support secure global food supplies produced using good methods for the environment and society

Fremont, CA: Aquaculture is the world's rapidly growing food supply sector, and it helps with food security. Through aquaculture, our oceans, seas, and inland freshwaters hold huge potential to provide us with more healthy and nutritious food. This is needed to feed an ever-growing human population, so aquaculture helps us with food security.

Aquaculture can greatly contribute to and support secure global food supplies produced using good methods for the environment and society. Compared to farming land animals such as cows and pigs, aquaculture is one of the most resource-efficient and minimal environmentally potent ways to produce protein for people to eat. In addition, aquaculture supports people and communities worldwide by providing business opportunities and decent jobs.

Impacts of aquaculture

Like any other human activity, all aquaculture forms impact the environment - how much depends on the type of farming and the species involved. Recently, much progress has been made in the sustainability of aquaculture production.

Research has also noted that several types of aquaculture (for example, bivalve shellfish or seaweed) can positively impact the environment, which benefits us. Ecosystem services, goods and advantages incorporate the food, raw materials, clean air and water that nature gives.

As with other types of farming, aquaculture depends upon the environment, so it requires help to look after it. The more reliable and sustainable aquaculture turns, the more it will be able to give great seafood for people across the world to eat and for generations to arrive.
