Don't we wish! With the recent catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico, the food supply and livelihoods of many are now in peril and could be for generations to come. How can we protect a healthy supply of fish to eat? See what my buddy, Dave Guggenheim, the "Ocean Doctor" has to say about a healthier style of fish farming on his blog.
Despite the wide fish display at the supermarket, 90% of the world's large fish supply (tuna, salmon, halibut, etc) is depleted. Check out a unique solution for a much more sustainable model as described by chef Dan Barber at the 2010 TED conference. He shares perhaps the most inspiring example of how a fish farm in Spain provides its own ecosystem of food, naturally cleans pesticide-ridden inflowing water, and judges itself on the health of its predators (pink flamingos - of all things!). It’s a great example of how we can rethink our food model outside of the factory farm paradigm.
