We’re headed towards a global food crisis: Nearly 3 billion people depend on the ocean for food, and at our current rate we already take more fish from the ocean than it can naturally replace. In this fact-packed, eye-opening talk, entrepreneur and conservationist Mike Velings proposes a solution: Aquaculture, or fish farming. “We must start using the ocean as farmers instead of hunters,” he says, echoing Jacques Cousteau. “The day will come where people will demand farmed fish on their plates that’s farmed well and farmed healthy — and refuse anything less.”
Insight: This TEDx Talk did a great job of presenting the dangers we face regarding our oceans and the wildlife that live within it. We as humans for thousands of years have relied on oceans, rivers and bodies of water to provide us with arguably some of the healthiest forms of produce known to man, and still today we ‘hunt millions of tons of fish every year’. With the current state of our climate and the growing absence of life in the ocean Mike presents his case and knowledge for how things must change, to make a more sustainable future, for both our oceans and our species.
