How Monocrops Are Killing Seafood

There are many reasons fish populations are in danger and a big one is monoculture. The way we grow food is leading to dead zones in our lakes and oceans. Additionally, coastal fish farms leak nitrogen, antibiotics, and other toxins into the oceans.And zooplankton that feeds the smallest fish in the food chain is suffering the most from increased carbon levels.

To better understand the effects monoculture is having on fish, I sat down to talk with Paul Greenberg for this week’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy.

Paul is the bestselling author of Four Fish, American Catch, and The Omega Principle. A regular contributor to the New York Times and many other publications, Mr. Greenberg is the writer-in-residence at the Safina Center, a Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation and the recipient of a James Beard Award for Writing and Literature. He appears frequently on American and international radio and television programs and is the featured correspondent and co-writer of the 2017 PBS Frontline documentary The Fish On My Plate which, along with his TED talk, has reached millions of viewers.
