• Fish farming became the largest industry

• Sustainable fishing practices were implemented

How does aquaculture contribute to sustainable food practices?

• By eliminating the need for fish feed

• By producing more fish than are caught in the wild

• By increasing the variety of fish species

• By reducing the need for land-based farming

What was the initial purpose of genetically modifying plants in the 1980s?
