Aquaculture accounted for approximately 0.45 percent of global anthropogenic GHG emissions in 2013. However, production is increasing rapidly, and emissions arising from post-farm activities, which are not included in the 0.45 percent, could increase the emissions intensity of some supply chains significantly. It is therefore important to improve the efficiency of global aquaculture to offset increases in production so that it can continue to make an important contribution to food security. There is great scope to improve resource efficiency through technical innovation.Country/Region of Manufacture: ITBook Series: FAO fisheries and aquaculture technical paperGenre: Science Nature & MathTopic: Technology & EngineeringAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
