Fact for the Day: The Truth about Aquaculture
The kind of devastation the commercial fishing industry causes to our oceans is something that is known to many. Read here to learn more about the commercial fishing methods that are threatening our oceans.
Although, in theory, farmed seafood and fish or aquafarming are often championed as the sustainable solution to the problem of overfishing and overexploitation of the oceans, the truth is that intensive fish farming has many negative consequences for the environment and coastal communities.
Being the leading farmed-fish producer in the world, the development of China’s aquaculture sector offers striking evidence that aquaculture in its current form has not only failed to restore fish stocks domestically but also emerged as a contributor to diminishing wild fish stocks worldwide.

Bonus Tip: Plant-based snacks on the go
We’ve all had those days when we’re so busy that we take breakfast to go, can’t grab lunch so we have a “snack” (or rather a bag of chips!) at 3 pm instead, and then are too tired to even think about making dinner.
While we’ve learned that meal-prepping is a great way to ensure that we always have delicious and nutritious meals available when we’re short on time, here are 8 Plant-Rich Snacks for when you’re on the Go!
And here are three easy and quick plant-rich snack recipes – two sweet and one savory – from our very own Dawn of the Plant-Rich Diet Task Force that are sure to please every palate: brain bark, black bean and corn salsa, and homemade date choco-bars.
Happy snacking!
