A new book by Dr Ásta Dís Óladóttir and Dr Ágúst Einarsson book takes a unique and innovative approach to demonstrate how fisheries and aquaculture can achieve sustainability and how small fishing communities can become successful and contribute to overall industry globalisation.
Fisheries and Aquaculture: The Food Security of the Future takes a multidisciplinary approach in evaluating the fisheries and aquaculture sectors from the scientific and practical perspectives of industry professionals. The authors recognise the importance of looking at the industry from a value chain viewpoint, not only for food security but also for a blue economy.
“Oceans and water resources are a crucial dimension in the future of all nations, a key determinant in the evolution of the climate and the food security of coming generations,” commented former Icelandic President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, who contributes the foreword to Fisheries and Aquaculture: The Food Security of the Future.
“This volume is a pioneering endeavour to provide a comprehensive analysis of these planetary basics and how humanity can in environmentally responsible and economically successful ways make the most of rich ocean and aquaculture resources.”
Fisheries and Aquaculture: The Food Security of the Future is a practical and useful reference for a wide-ranging audience. It is for those who wish to make systematic efforts to develop their fisheries or aquaculture sectors, scientists and researchers, anyone in fisheries management or marine resource management, fish farmers, policy makers, leaders and regulators, operations researchers, as well as faculty and students.
