In the face of apocalyptic climate change, a former fisherman shares a bold and hopeful new vision for saving the planet: farming the ocean.
Here Bren Smith-a restorative ocean farmer-introduces the world of sea-based agriculture, a groundbreaking solution to the global climate crisis. The ocean is a vast, untapped opportunity, home to thousands of edible plants. Using simple DIY techniques, we can grow more than enough delicious and nutritious food-without the use of fresh water or fertilizers-to feed the planet and mitigate climate change, to boot.
A groundbreaking "climate memoir," Eat Like a Fish interweaves Smith's own life-from sailing the high seas aboard commercial fishing trawlers to pioneering new forms of ocean farming to surfing the frontiers of the food movement-with actionable food policy and practical advice on ocean farming. Written with the humor and swagger of a fisherman telling a late-night tale, it is a powerful story of environmental renewal, and a must-read guide to saving our oceans, feeding the world, and-by creating new jobs up and down the coasts-putting working class Americans back to work.
