Fish meal demand outbids human food supply
Original: 'They cannot compete with the prices that fish factories will pay': How demand for fish meal takes priority over feeding people
New reporting highlights how the growing fish meal industry is outbidding local communities for fish stocks that could otherwise feed people directly. Small-scale buyers 'cannot compete with the prices that fish factories will pay', according to the article, meaning catches are turned into animal feed and aquaculture inputs rather than human food. The piece raises concerns about food security and the priorities of global seafood supply chains.
Why now: Rising demand for fish meal is being linked to food insecurity, prompting debate over how global fish supplies should be used.
