Exploring how aquaculture is contributing to sustainably feeding the world
Hakai Magazine published an article on August 24, 2020 in their issue exploring aquaculture, "Big Fish: The Aquacultural Revolution". This piece delves into the essential role that aquaculture plays in sustainably feeding the world. The article quotes Simon Bush, researcher and Chairholder of the Environmental Policy Department.
Aquaculture as a quiet revolution
Hakai Magazine’s recent article, ‘Hold the Salt: The Promise of Little Fresh Fishes’ takes a look at the ‘quiet revolution that could sustainably feed the world’.
Is aquaculture ‘bad’ and wild capture ‘good’? While many media accounts promote this binary viewpoint, this article opens up the critique on this overly simplistic narrative. Looking at the development of aquaculture production in Southeast Asia, we are introduced to the complexity of the story that better reflects global aquaculture production and consumption. Quoted in this piece is ENP researcher and Chairholder at Wageningen University & Research, Simon Bush; his research is mainly focused on the design and effectvieness of public and private environmental governance arrangements for global fisheries and aquaculture.
