Healthy aquaculture for people and environment
“Fish is good for you”, parents tell their children, and while it is true that seafood is healthy, it is also true that just how nourishing it is varies considerably between species. People in many low-income countries are particularly dependent on seafood for their nutrition, so when overfishing diminish fish landings, these people are the most affected. Aquaculture is a way to meet local demand,…
Flawed assumptions risk undermining ocean’s potential for SDGs
Increasing the production of food from the ocean is seen as one important pathway toward more sustainable and healthier human diets. Yet this potential is threatened by competing uses of ocean resources in an accelerating ‘‘blue economy’ and by a too narrow focus on production growth, researchers warn in a perspective in the journal One Earth. Policy and research must apply a broader food systems…
Dancing on the vulcano
Humanity is at a crossroads. We need to understand the underlying drivers of human behaviour to avoid collapse of the biosphere and our global civilization Radical recent developments such as Brexit, the rise of extreme nationalism in Europe, polarizing leaders, the Arab Spring, and fundamentalist movements are indications of societal discontent with the status quo. Other societal phenomena such as gender fluidity, veganism, and bartering…
Toward a More Resilient Agriculture
Agriculture is a key driver of change in the Anthropocene. It is both a critical factor for human well-being and development and a major driver of environmental decline. As the human population expands to more than 9 billion by 2050, we will be compelled to find ways to adequately feed this population while simultaneously decreasing the environmental impact of agriculture, even as global change is…
Including relationships improve fisheries management
Bioeconomic models guiding small-scale fisheries development programmes exclude important interactions between fishers, traders and consumers. This may increase existing inequalities. A social-ecological model that includes these complex relationship dynamics substantially improves accuracy in predicting fishery outcomes. Climate change is set to seriously impact small-scale fisheries, reducing catches and altering the distribution of many species that are crucial to the livelihoods of millions around the world….
Responding to Change: Using Scenarios to Understand how Socioeconomic Factors may Influence Amplifying or Dampen Exploitation Feedbacks among Tanzanian Fishers
Environmental change often requires societies to adapt. In some instances, these adaptations can create feedbacks that amplify the change. Alternatively, other adaptations may dampen the change. We used semi-structured interviews with 240 fishers from nine Tanzanian coastal communities to explore responses to four hypothetical scenarios of increasingly severe declines in their average catch (10%, 20%, 30% and 50%). Overall, a higher proportion of fishers said…
Time for corporate biosphere stewardship?
A recent article in Nature, Ecology and Evolution identifies a handful of transnational corporations that disproportionately influence the planet’s climate and ecosystem. This concentration of power comes with a great deal of responsibility and opportunity. Although voluntary corporate responsibility so far has proven ineffective, market concentration could be turned into a positive force for sustainability, the authors claim, and identify seeds of change that could be…
