Aquaculture and Its Impact

The video discusses the rise in global fish consumption and the role of aquaculture in meeting this demand. Aquaculture, or aqua farming, involves farming aquatic organisms in controlled environments and has become a major food sector. It includes marine and freshwater types, offering nutritional benefits and job creation. However, challenges like environmental pollution and sustainability issues exist. The EU is working on regulations to ensure sustainable aquaculture practices.
