Aquicultura: a nova fronteira para produção de alimentos de forma sustentável

Abstract

In the last decades, aquaculture has stood out as a competitive and sustainable activity for food production, contributing to employment and income generation, reducing poverty and hunger in various parts of the world. The impacts of aquaculture were so wide that this experience came to be called “Blue Revolution”. Thus, this article aims to highlight the importance of aquaculture to increase the supply of food and strategic inputs, thus constituting an effective alternative to address the impacts of climate change on agriculture and promote global sustainable development. This article also highlights the opportunities in Brazil for this activity, thus strengthening the perspective of aquaculture as an important lever for the Brazilian regional development.
