The variety and amount of fish we eat is shaped by history, culture and perception. Despite the uneven media coverage of the aquaculture industry, farmed fish is not only consumed more often than wild-caught, but the amount of farmed fish both eaten and produced is also set to increase year over year to ensure our growing population has food for the future. Join Contessa Kellogg-Winters of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council — the leading global certification for socially and environmentally responsible seafood — as she speaks to leaders in the seafood industry about their work, and a variety of issues impacting the dynamic aquaculture industry. If you’re curious to learn more about seafood, the issues and impacts associated with food production and how we choose the fish we eat, tune in to the Aqua Culture Podcast each month.
