Welcome to the Sustainable, Nutritious World of Aquatic Foods
Few topics today at the intersection of food, cuisine, health, and sustainability are more exciting than the vast potential of foods from the sea. Aquatic foods— foods derived from aquatic animals, plants, or algae— have long been enjoyed traditionally by many cultures through the centuries. Yet, they have been highlighted in recent landmark reports and research for their ability to help build a healthy, diversified, equitable, and sustainable food future.
In particular, flavorful foods from the rich world of sea vegetables or meaty bivalves (oysters, clams, and mussels) can help meet nutrient needs and fight climate change, offering a win-win of being both highly nourishing and highly sustainable.
