FeedingThe World In 2050: Huge Food Projections Point To Sustainable Aquaculture

摘要

Global population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, with regions like Sub-Saharan Africa increasing exponentially in population. To support projected food demands, production must rise an estimated 70% above current values. Efficient utilisationof feed-grade nutrient sources and their conversion to nutritious aquatic food will be essential. Aquacul-ture can play a key role in raising food in limited space, but changes in climate and other areas should be considered at physical, human and resource levels.
