www.ted.com Chef Dan Barber squares off with a dilemma facing many chefs today: how to keep fish on the menu. With impeccable research and deadpan humor, he chronicles his pursuit of a sustainable fish he could love, and the foodie's honeymoon he's enjoyed since discovering an outrageously delicious fish raised using a revolutionary farming method in Spain.

I told almost everyone I know about this talk, (one of my favorites) and put it in a link list I send to new friends and acquaintances "about ideas worth sharing"... Thank you for posting this here on KZfaq for me to come across while compiling a playlist about DanBarber of Blue Hills @ Stone Farms. He is such a great storyteller/speaker!

This is an awesome talk indeed you know.i love the humor of this guy and how informative he is. As soon as i listen to this talk , i immediately realized the best way to farm is extensively not intensively because it saves costs and effort, like his friend's farm, he feed effortlessly because there is a food chain here you know: fish eats eels and even microorganisms/ They are a real bird sanctuary here the birds fly over 150 miles to comto the city and it's weird because that's too far its not because they love their offspring but divine food. THey even lose 20 percent of fish for the flamingos.TO conclude, that is a great talk tks!

We need self-renewing farms and self-sustaining communities. Also, it is important that our farm focuses its expertise on ecological network, biotic community, and organic farming. Because a good food that is naturally produced is an indication that our ecosystems are thriving.

@veganath If the meaning of necessity is restricted to life-or-death situations, then it isn't necessary to avoid torture. There has to be a trade-off between quantity and quality of life somewhere. I should have used the word useless instead. Depending on the type of farming, the amount of suffering can be less than would be expected in the wild. Abattoirs are designed to reduce (as much as cheaply possible) fear and suffering (it toughens the meat apparently).

The Time Magazine article says about 1,200 tons of fish annually on 3,200 hectares of marshland. As most of the new "extensive" ecological-community-dominated farms are equally devoted to promoting the model as they are to actual production, it's hard to say what max capacity would be from this method.

The one type of harvest that supports the environment... very very impressive and admirable! Now go watch the movie "The Cove" to see an example of unfortunate and brutal alternatives to this type of farming! A heartache of a subject, but very important, also revealing that the health issues of eating larger fish such as tuna, dolphin, whale etc. is the amount of mercury in the fish. As human beings we love fish myself included and this type of farm seems like an excellent option :)

It depends on your sense of definition: consumption without destruction of the environment/resources is by definition not really a "consumption" if you define consumption as a destructive act in itself.

@dogstar167 6 жыл бұрын

Beautiful

@veganath 14 жыл бұрын

@cchilder & planetdarwin, you advocate a move away from excessive consumption! I couldn't agree more.Our current mind set is of fear, coupled with an intense sense of isolation & loneliness, borne of seeking happiness in all the wrong places, the symptoms: indulgence in consumption to avert these feelings. My own experience has drawn me to reconnect with life, not through thought, but redirecting the focus of my attention to feeling life. Perhaps our greatest love affair is with the universe.
