A changing world. The future: algae and fish farming.

As far back as the early seventies, the Club of Rome described and presented in various writings future crisis scenarios that, to a more or less marked degree, have now occurred or are occurring. The most important scenarios are the water crisis, the food crisis, the depletion of resources, climate change and the energy crisis. These crises are caused not only by the still uncontrolled global population growth, but also by increasing prosperity in emerging countries. This is compounded by the fact that large parts of the population and governments do not deal adequately and constructively with the change in the world. In the case of the current population growth of approximately 6.7 billion to approximately 10 billion in 2100, it can be observed that many developing countries in particular that are becoming industrial nations account for the largest proportion. The expected population growth and increasing prosperity in emerging countries leads to an increased demand for food, resources, energy and increasing CO2 and methane emissions.

The increased demand for food undeniably results in a growing shortage of fertile land and resources, the energy crisis, climate change and a growing ecological footprint (utilisation of biologically productive land and water). It cannot be denied that, as a result of years of overfishing the seas, the fish population is so depleted that fish will become a very expensive delicacy in a few years.

Massively increasing demand for fish.

The demand for fish in industrialised countries currently stands at approximately 16 kg/a per head and is increasing by approximately 10% p.a. In future, the rising demand can no longer be generated by increasing fish food (fish meal and fish oil) as the seas are increasingly showing signs of exhaustion. It is predicted that, with the current behaviour and feeding methods, all the world's seas will be completely exhausted by 2050. This is compounded by the impact on the ecosystems, for example the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and many other regions that are already almost biologically dead.

It is therefore up to us collectively to develop and drive a component that delivers a highly profitable contribution to combating the food crisis through the development and production of innovative aquacultures.
