About this Research Topic
In view of the increasing world population, the demand for different means of livelihood has been rising in a geometric pattern. Per capita, food production has doubled during the last few decades in both developed as well as developing countries. The probability of a shortage in global food production in the distant future is now a growing area of scientific, political and social concern. In order to overcome such a probability, the dimension of food production may be extended beyond the horizontal line. However, when approaching such practices, the limitation of land area stands as a major limiting challenge for producing ‘future food’ to meet the growing demand of the world population. The carrying capacity of Earth mainly relies on green cover supporting all the lives in water as well as on land. A focus on intensifying sustainable exploration of aquatic resources will relieve land resources and help them to intensify their resilience capacity.
As of now, the knowledge gap is such that there is no sustainable plan on how to ‘scientifically intensify’ and explore our water resources to ensure our ‘future food’. The objective of this Research Topic is to focus on more feasible ideas and technologies rather than merely reviewing what others have done. The ideas and research should inherently bear a ‘look forward policy’ for increasing the potential for sustainable future food.
This Research Topic has the following broad themes to address this knowledge gap. Subjects of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Potential Marine resources and their sustainable use
- Future of freshwater plant and animal resources
- Intensification of aquatic animal and plant resources
- Natural resource management and multispecies culture
- Fisheries and aquaculture
- Aquatic resource and climate change
- Green technology in aquatic resource management
- Aquatic ecological footprints and restoration modelling
