As we discussed in class on Tuesday, there are many reasons that farmed fish will both answer the rising population question as well as ways to be more sustainable. The article mentions that all of the world's usable agriculture land is used. Thus, we must look for new ways to feed the 2.4 billion people added to the world's population in the next 34 years. The authors argue that aquaculture is the solution. It provides a way to dispose of agricultural waste by feeding them to fisheries and may also prevent over fishing in the future. I think that this is a necessary step for us in the coming years. It will allow the economies to be more efficient as well as sustainable. We will be able to put what was waste from other products to good use. As the years go by, resources are becoming more scarce, so the implementation of waste as a resource for someone else is necessary.
