A New Generation of Shrimp Aquaculture for Sustainability and Resilience of Future Green Cities

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on two emerging concepts, green cities and urban farming, as a framework for creating a sustainable and resilient food system. We propose integrating urban shrimp farming in a closed system with microbiome control and total water recycling. We aim to achieve seafood farming in future green cities by extending the notion of what ecological aspects make a city green more resilient and sustainable, including creating local value chains, the local market and non-market activities, and new forms of responsible entrepreneurship. We paid particular attention to creating forms of ecological awareness for the citizens and green urban activism, pursuing the acquisition of ecological notions of the natural shrimp life cycle and protecting the natural mangrove forest that keeps shrimp healthy with a superior genetic pool. Furthermore, we reviewed approaches to democratizing green cities with ecological activism to empower local-level efforts to coordinate non-corporate relations in food democracy and the goodwill to pay for ecosystem services.
