A major change began 10,000-12,000 years ago when humans began to practice agriculture. A series of "green revolutions" enabled the human population to explode, but these advancements have dramatically changed the planet. The United Nations predicts that we will need to produce 50% more food by 2050 to feed another 2.5 billion people, but this will be challenging with tighter land and water resources and a changing climate. Responsible marine aquaculture can complement responsible land-based agriculture and aquaculture and well-managed fisheries to increase the global supply of nutritious food.
大约一万到一万两千年前,当人类开始从事农业活动时,一个重大的变革就此开启。一系列“绿色革命”使得人口数量急剧增长,但这些进步也极大地改变了地球。联合国预测,到2050年,我们需要多生产50%的粮食,才能养活另外25亿人口,但鉴于土地和水资源愈发紧张以及气候不断变化,这将极具挑战性。负责任的海洋水产养殖可以与负责任的陆地农业、水产养殖以及管理良好的渔业相互补充,以增加全球营养食品的供应量。
