in the early 1990s The catch of cod, the 'national fish' in Europe and North America, has begun to drop sharply. The Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada, which was one of the world's largest fishing grounds in Daegu, saw its resources plunge due to overfishing, and in 1992, the Canadian government put the brakes on Daegu's fishing operations. In New England, the cod was also a symbolic fish. New England, where the port developed, used to be the place where more than 1,000 tons of seafood came into the port, but the fisheries industry collapsed after the 1990s. "In the early 1990s, overfishing and poor catch management were the starting point for the depletion of fisheries resources," Dick Jones, CEO of Ocean Outcoms, explained at a sustainable fisheries forum on the 22nd. Daegu prices soared after the devastation of the Grand Banks fishing grounds disrupted the supply of marine products. The price of cod in Britain, which stood at $84 per ton in 1992, soared t...

The question of "Will we be able to enjoy our current food and environment for the next generation?" is changing our dining landscape. To open one's purse to 'vegetable meat' instead of meat and drink 'vegetable milk' made from beans or almonds instead of milk. Small worries and changes are piling up, and the eyes of consumers and the food industry are gradually heading for the "future." The "sustainability" value of sustainability has emerged in the food industry because the risks of climate change and environmental destruction due to food production and consumption are reaching the Maginot Line. "Currently, consumers' perception of sustainability is facing a real turning point around the world," said Paolo Brai, founder and director of the World Sustainability Organization. "Consumers are showing more willingness to pay for brands that are concerned about the environment." In fact, according to a survey by mark...

March 22 was the United Nations' World Day for Water, and this year's "Water and Climate Change" was chosen as the key theme. With industrial growth and population growth, we are increasingly demanding water, but climate change, water waste and water pollution caused by this are threatening water around the world. Water security has emerged as an international issue, with experts saying that the possibility of a water war is much greater than the possibility of a nuclear war in the future. "Water stress is emerging as a form of international conflict and is threatening human food," warned Andrew Steer, head of the World Resources Institute. Korea is no exception. Korea is a food security crisis. The grain self-sufficiency rate is only 23 percent (average between 2015 and 2017 and the Korea Rural Economic Institute), ranking last among OECD members. At the same time, South Korea is the country that pointed to its high "water stress" index in a docum...

   With an environmental campaign hosted by the World Natural Fund, the first event has been held every year on the last Saturday of March since it began in Sydney, Australia in 2007. It is a symbolic conservation campaign that recalls the meaning of climate change by extinguishing an hour of lights in question and is also widely known for the participation of famous landmarks around the world. This year, like any other year, the "Us Hour" campaign to turn off all lights for the Earth took place around the world for an hour on Friday evening.    The WWF said Friday that it held the world's largest conservation campaign "Earth Hour" from 8:30 p.m., Saturday. WWF Korea explained that all events related to the virus were held online this year due to the prolonged coronavirus outbreak.    The one-hour Earth Hour, which runs from 8:30 p.m. on the last Saturday of March each year, has involved major landmarks including the Empire State Building in New York, the E...
