From the reviews:
“Presents oppositional evidence around seven contentious issues surrounding aquaculture in an advanced industrial country ... . very interesting book–and a way to learn about aquaculture as a future source of animal protein. ... required reading for those interested in aquaculture as a source of food and trade. It is also useful for scholars of ethics, knowledge, and governance of production and natural resources. ... Contested knowledges, particularly of impacts, of both scientists and fishers is the basis of governance in times of rapid change.” (Cornelia Butler Flora, Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Vol. 23, 2010)Le informazioni nella sezione "Su questo libro" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.

Descrizione libro Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Keith Culver and David Castle Introduction Aquaculture is at the leading edge of a surprisingly polarized debate about the way we produce our food. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, aquaculture production has increased 8. 8% per year since 1970, far surpassing productivity gains in terrestrial meat production at 2. 8% in the same period (FAO 2007). Like the 'green revolution' before it, the 'blue revolution' in aquaculture promises rapidly increased productivity through technology-driven - tensi cation of aquaculture animal and plant production (Costa-Pierce 2002; The Economist 2003). Proponents of further aquaculture development emphasize aq- culture's ancient origins and potential to contribute to global food security d- ing an unprecedented collapse in global sheries (World Fish Center; Meyers and Worm 2003; Worm et al. 2006). For them, technology-driven intensi cation is an - dinary and unremarkable extension of past practice. Opponents counter with images of marine and freshwater environments devastated by intensive aquaculture pr- tices producing unsustainable and unhealthy food products. They view the promised revolutionasascam,nothingmorethanclever marketingbypro t-hungry shfa- ers looking for ways to distract the public from the real harms done by aquaculture. The stark contrast between proponents and opponents of modern aquaculture recalls decades of disputes about intensive terrestrial plant and animal agriculture, disputes whose vigor shows that the debate is about much more than food production (Ruse and Castle 2002).
