- Can we produce high natural value? Conservation & livestock farming co-existing I Prof. Iain Gordon, Australian National University

16 min - Fish is the fastest growing protein, but needs radical change I Amy Novogratz, Aqua-Spark
CHANGE MAKER
Was the documentary, Seaspiracy, calling for consumers to stop eating fish, really representative of fish farming v’s caught from the sea?
With fish making up 17% of animal protein, aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector in the world, yet with depleted wild-caught fish stocks and consumer’s demand for more sustainable fish farms there is a lot of work to invest in.

27 min - How to feed the world with bio-pesticides vs synthetic chemicals? I Stephen Ford, EcoBio
CHANGE MAKER
The market size for glyphosate is $4.4 billion and is the largest single chemical sold in the world.
The Environment Protection Agency in NZ is calling for advice on our use of the herbicide, but removing it completely will take away farmers ability to produce more food in the next 40 years than we have had to produce in the past 8,000 years. So how do you scale up bio-pesticides, the naturally occurring bacteria & fungi option?
