Aquaculture
Sustainability and
Food Security
PRESENTED BY: [VERSHA MAJEED ]
Introduction
๏ต Aquaculture is the cultivation of aquatic
organisms such as fish, shellfish, and
seaweed in controlled environments.
๏ต It now supplies over 50% of the worldโ€™s
seafood consumption.
๏ต Aquaculture is critical for food security
as it provides a reliable source of
protein and supports livelihoods.
Global Status of Aquaculture
๏ต Global aquaculture production
reached approximately 122 million
tonnes as per FAO (2022).
๏ต Top producers include China,
Indonesia, India, and Vietnam.
๏ต It is the fastest-growing sector in food
production globally.
Role in Food Security
๏ต Aquaculture products are rich in
protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and
essential micronutrients.
๏ต Fish farming provides affordable
protein, especially to low-income
populations.
๏ต Over 20 million people depend on
aquaculture for their livelihoods.
Sustainability Challenges
๏ต Environmental Impacts:
๏ต - Water pollution due to nutrient runoff
(eutrophication).
๏ต - Habitat loss, especially mangroves, due to farm
expansion.
๏ต - Overharvesting of wild fish for feed.
๏ต Social Challenges:
๏ต - Labor rights and fair working conditions.
๏ต - Ensuring equitable access to aquaculture benefits.
Innovations in Sustainable
Aquaculture
๏ต Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)
reduce water use and improve waste
management.
๏ต Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture
(IMTA) mimics ecosystems to minimize
waste.
๏ต Plant-based and alternative protein
feeds reduce reliance on wild fish
stocks.
Policy and Governance
๏ต Governments play a key role through
regulation of environmental impact
and licensing.
๏ต International frameworks such as the
FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible
Fisheries support sustainability.
๏ต Aquaculture aligns with SDG 14: Life
Below Water.
Case Studies
๏ต Norway: Advanced salmon farming
using strict environmental and health
regulations.
๏ต Bangladesh: Empowering small-scale
farmers with integrated pond systems.
๏ต Kenya: Cage farming in Lake Victoria
enhances local fish supply and
income.
Future Outlook
๏ต Technologies like AI and biofloc
systems are optimizing operations and
sustainability.
๏ต Need for climate-resilient practices as
oceans warm and acidify.
๏ต Growing consumer demand for eco-
certified and traceable seafood
products.
How Individuals Can Help
๏ต Opt for seafood with sustainability
certifications (e.g., ASC, MSC).
๏ต Advocate for responsible aquaculture
practices and policies.
๏ต Minimize personal food waste and
reduce environmental footprint.
Conclusion
๏ต Aquaculture is essential for meeting
future food demands sustainably.
๏ต A balanced approach is needed:
economic growth, social equity, and
environmental care.
๏ต Letโ€™s work together for a sustainable
blue revolution.
