For billions of people, seafood provides a significant source of protein and nutrition, but over half the seafood we eat isn't caught in the wild, it's grown through aquaculture. Farmed seafood is one of the fastest-growing food industries, but the farming methods echo the problems we've seen in industrial agriculture. Is there a way to sustainably farm the ocean? Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Megan Davis investigate. [Directed by Biljana Labovic, narrated by Alexandra Panzer].

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Megan Davis: Underwater farms vs. climate change

Underwater farms vs. climate change

Aquaculture, growing at 5.8% each year, presents a paradox of providing nutrition while straining wild fisheries and ecosystems.

Innovative approaches like restorative ocean farming offer a sustainable pathway, producing shellfish and seaweed with low footprints.

A shift to farming lower on the food chain could revolutionize our dietary habits, promoting a sustainable, healthy future for the ocean.
