How aquaculture furthers the Blue Growth Initiative
Blue Growth is as an integral part of sustainable global development and the Food and Agriculture Organization's Sustainable Development Goals as they relate to conservation of marine resources.
Climate change likely already affecting global food production
Study of potential impact of observed climate change on the yields of 10 global crops show a likely 1 percent average reduction in consumable food calories.
Are global nutritional needs being met?
This study shows that the global agricultural system currently overproduces grains, fats and sugars while production of fruits and vegetables and protein [including seafood] is insufficient to meet the current population’s nutritional needs.
Sizes of substances dissolved or suspended in water
Prof. Boyd discusses concentrations and abundance of diverse substances dissolved and suspended in water, which may be either very large or extremely small.
