Book excerpt: The depth of the challenge rests in the complexity the sustainability threats facing global fisheries and the complexity of the global fisheries trade. [...] One of the byproducts of the geographic complexity of global seafood supply chains is the challenge of linking sustainability impacts to specific biological species and stocks, ecosystems and various products elsewhere in the chain. [...] The more detailed statement of purpose for this fisheries and aquaculture study is to: Assess supply chain sustainability challenges and opportunities both within and outside of China Provide strategic policy guidance for the Government of China towards the development of sustainable supply chains and markets Facilitate the adoption of sustainable trade policy in the upper levels of the Chin [...] Recognizing the challenge of applying the GCCSA methodology to the entire fish products supply chain, the project partners have identified a select number of species and supply chain flows for the application of the analysis. [...] WTO and the multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs)-the reach of MEAs into the area of trade is on the increase, and there is still no overall reconciliation either among the MEAs, or between the WTO and MEAs.

Book excerpt: This book provides a historical and analytical account of changes in the seafood supply chain in Britain from the mid-twentieth century to the present, looking at the impact of various types of governance. The governance of marine fisheries has been a contested issue for decades with increasing anxieties about overfishing. In tandem, the rise of aquaculture, fish and shellfish farming, has driven another set of environmental concerns. In the food system, there have been scandals about safety failures and about fraud. At the same time, governments issue advice urging people to eat fish for its health benefits. In the context of these problems and contradictions, how have governments, the food industry and ordinary consumers responded? The author shows how different types of governance and regulation have been used to seek seafood sustainability and food safety and to communicate nutritional messages to the public and with what effects. The book also presents a new model for understanding food chains which combines governance and power approaches with an emphasis on understanding the interests served and the resulting balance of public and private benefits. This shows that the role of state regulation should have greater emphasis in governance and agri-food analysis and that theories about supply chain functioning, including the part played by major retailers and civil society, should be modified by a more nuanced understanding of the role of standards and certification systems. Although much of the focus is on the UK and Europe, this book provides key lessons internationally for the governance of seafood and other agri-food supply chains. The book will be of interest to students of food policy and those working in the seafood industry or studying for connected qualifications, and more widely to readers with an interest in seafood issues and problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability (EIS), presenting high-quality research illuminating the relationship between the three fields. The EIS nexus is particularly relevant from a European point of view given the focus of the European Commission on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, as well as their prominent role within the European Union in general. Also, the rapid economic growth witnessed especially in the BRIC countries in recent years requires that firms reconcile sustainability aspects with profitability and innovation, and entrepreneurs are seen as key diffusers of these aims. Sustainability requires both radical and incremental innovation at many different levels (technology, product, process, system). In many cases, such innovations come from small and medium-sized enterprises and so the role of the entrepreneur is key to their success. The book is split into six sections. The first section examines the nexus in detail focusing on system-oriented connectivity between sustainability, innovation and entrepreneurship. The second section looks at how to nurture corporate entrepreneurship for sustainability; and the third considers "mature" industries such as automotives, chemicals and electronics and how sustainability aspects can be integrated into innovation process and strategy. The fourth section examines the nexus through the lens of developing countries in Africa. Sustainable entrepreneurship is identified as a hugely beneficial way to foster development. The fifth section of the book concentrates on SMEs; and finally the EIS nexus is approached from a network perspective and focuses on inter-organisational partnerships, which are often an important facilitator or spark for EIS initiatives.This book will prove to be essential for researchers in the EIS nexus and be of invaluable help to practitioners, governments and inter-governmental bodies attempting to encourage sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A network project run has gathered researchers in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and seafood to discuss and develop methodology for LCAs of seafood products. Project participants represented national projects in this field in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. The project has resulted in exchange of research results between the national projects and has constituted a forum for discussion of methodological issues for the participants. Methodological development has taken several important steps forward through this collaboration which are reported in this report as well as benefits of this development for the Nordic seafood sector. The report starts with a brief introduction to LCA methodology, continues with short reports about important environmental questions related to fishery and reports from the different workshops. Finally, a discussion of results, conclusions and a future outlook ends the report. Hopefully this will give a good picture of the status of LCA methodology for products coming from fishery and aquaculture

Download or read book Emissions and Climate Forcing of Seafood Production written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumer demand for sustainably sourced seafood has given rise to eco-label initiatives such as the Marine Stewardship Council and consumer advocacy groups such as Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch. The sustainability metrics of these groups include bycatch avoidance (with a particular emphasis on protected species) and stock abundance but have yet to include the climate impact of seafood production activities. The literature related to the sustainability of seafood generally reflects the emphasis of these eco-label initiatives with an abundance of studies related to stock assessment and eco-system effects of bycatch but comparatively few studies dedicated to the life-cycle assessment of seafood production activities. The dearth of seafood life-cycle assessments that have been conducted are narrowly focused on greenhouse gas emissions during fishing activities. Although greenhouse gas emissions of fishing activities is important, these studies have overlooked the climate implications of several policies (current and proposed) that may influence the sustainability of seafood. First, policy aimed at improving air quality by reducing the sulfur levels in marine fuels may impact the sustainability of seafood because fishing vessels are heavily reliant on diesel fuel and are known to be high emitters of short-lived climate forcing pollutants (including black carbon, sulfur oxides, and organic carbon). Furthermore, as seafood is a globally traded commodity that is typically shipped as freight on large container vessels, the importance of fuel quality in seafood life-cycle assessments may not be limited to the fishing phase of the seafood supply chain. Second, the consumer-driven policy of major retailers to only source seafood caught with highly selective fishing gears--in order to avoid the collateral damage of bycatch--may influence the sustainability of seafood because these gear types may require more fuel per fish caught compared with less selective gear types. Third, it has been argued that a proposed policy to ban fishing the high seas would allow the high seas to serve as an ecological bank. However, this proposal could impact the sustainability of seafood because fishermen may use less fuel by fishing in coastal areas. Furthermore, restricting fishing activities to coastal areas would mean that fishermen would be subject to more stringent fuel sulfur laws in regions where emission control laws have been enacted. Despite the potential benefits of these policies--improved air quality, reduced bycatch, and improved stock abundance--the climate impact of these sustainable fishing practices is largely unknown. This dissertation seeks to study the climate impact of these practices so as to broaden the discourse surrounding sustainable fishing practices. This work is divided in three research efforts. First, this research investigates the role of fishing vessels in the context of global shipping inventories. It develops a global inventory of fuel consumption and emissions of short-lived climate forcing pollutants of fishing vessels. A first-order global and Arctic estimate for the emissions and climate forcing of combined long-lived climate forcing (i.e. well mixed-greenhouse gases) and short-lived climate forcing emissions from fisheries using recently published plume-sampling data from an ensemble of ships is developed. Second, this research evaluates the climate impact of current and proposed policies (fuel quality policy to improve air quality, consumer-driven retailer policy to source seafood from highly selective fishing gears, and the proposed ban of fishing the high seas) in the context of U.S. tuna fisheries. A first-order climate forcing assessment of fishing activities of selected U.S. tuna fleets was conducted and the results were compared to land-based protein sources. Third, this research investigates the role of short-lived climate forcing pollutants upstream of the fishing phase of the seafood supply chain. A life-cycle assessment model was developed that includes fishing, processing, and the transport of two Alaskan pollock seafood products. Short-lived climate forcing pollutants were added to an existing model of battered-and-breaded white-fish fillets. Furthermore, a first-order assessment of a pollock surimi product, crab-flavored sticks (i.e. imitation crab), was compared to climate forcing associated with battered-and-breaded pollock fillets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life-Cycle Assessment of Biorefineries, the sixth and last book in the series on biomass-biorefineries discusses the unprecedented growth and development in the emerging concept of a global bio-based economy in which biomass-based biorefineries have attained center stage for the production of fuels and chemicals. It is envisaged that by 2020 a majority of chemicals currently being produced through a chemical route will be produced via a bio-based route. Agro-industrial residues, municipal solid wastes, and forestry wastes have been considered as the most significant feedstocks for such bio-refineries. However, for the techno-economic success of such biorefineries, it is of prime and utmost importance to understand their lifecycle assessment for various aspects. Provides state-of-art information on the basics and fundamental principles of LCA for biorefineries Contains key features for the education and understanding of integrated biorefineries Presents models that are used to cope with land-use changes and their effects on biorefineries Includes relevant case studies that illustrate main points
