Policy Pub: "The Blue Revolution: Marine Aquaculture and the Future of Sustainable Food Systems"

Presented by Florida State University College of Social Sciences and Public Policy at Backwoods Bistro

It is estimated that by the year 2050, Earth's population will reach more than 9 billion people, creating serious challenges for meeting global food demand while also addressing environmental sustainability concerns.

Recent research led by Assistant Professor of Geography Sarah Lester has introduced an advanced, holistic analytical model that could herald a new paradigm of environmentally sustainable ocean industry management.

In this talk, Lester will discuss the increasing role that marine aquaculture – farming of seafood in the ocean – is likely to play in addressing this wicked problem, both globally and along the Florida Gulf coast.
