In a recent post on Open Access Government, Coordinator of the Intelligent Management Systems for Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMPAQT) project Frank Kane discusses the path to revolutionising aquaculture and increasing the industry’s sustainability. With research and innovation at its core, the H2020 IMPAQT project brings together 21 multi-disciplinary partners, coordinated by the Marine Institute in Ireland, to develop and validate an intelligent management platform for sustainable integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) production.

For along time the adverse environmental affects of Food Production and Distribution have been downplayed. We will be covering this later in a specific Research Report on the subject but for now, 3 Programs from Netflix that will convince you: Introduction From 350 PPM: The Food Supply Chain From An Environmental Perspective You no longer need to be a keen environmentalist (not that I am), to work out we are destroying the oceans; its feedstock and its ability to sequester CO2 and CH4. We are also destroying the forests making way for agriculture. At the same time, we continue to toll the soil [...]
