Ep 4 – Feeding the Future – TX 25/11/2024
In this episode we explore the future of sustainable food production. Seafood is a crucial component of global food systems, and we investigate innovative seafood farming techniques, such as ‘bubble curtains’ that protect salmon from harmful algal blooms and projects that mimic natural marine ecosystems to turn waste from one species into food for another. We’ll also delve into research seeking to repurpose food waste into valuable plant-based proteins to tackle the European protein shortage. Finally, meet Irish apple growers embracing modern techniques to expand local production, reduce reliance on imports and take a
significant bite of the apple market!
