9-15 IAN Aquaculture Future

 Will we be able to feed the world in the year 2050? I did a story about weather conditions and how they have affected crops and depending on who you talk to is either no big deal or a disaster on the come. Here’s some quick feedback from one of our listeners. “Ask any Farmer who has been around for 50 years and he will agree, weather changes from year to year... decade to decade…. sometimes getting colder.... sometimes getting warmer.... some years you have a drought and some years you have an over abundance of rain and snow.   Freak weather occurrences are nothing new …. Just keep's life interesting

As for climate change driving food prices, nothing new here just basic 101 supply and demand Economics.  Will food prices double?  Maybe…I went to and expert on sustainability from New Era aquaculture and asked about feeding the world: “Sustainability is the name of the game today. The only way to grow from here on is through sustainability. That is the big question mark in any industry. The greatest sustainability today in the animal world will be from the aqua world over the land world simply because if we want to feed the world in 2050 we are going to have to increase production in the land by 70 to 75%. That would have to come through increasing surface area for agriculture or increasing yields per-unit area. Aqua is the next frontier to feed and protein coming from capture and culture but mostly from culture in the future.
