Farming Techniques
The aim is to have high efficiency when farming. This means there is more biomass (meat/milk) per animal.
How farmers maximise efficiency:
Downsides of maximising efficiency:
Sustainable Fishing
Overfishing is when fishermen catch fish faster than they breed. This may cause them to run out of stock, damage the food chain and even lead to extinction.
Solutions to prevent overfishing:
Fishing is only sustainable when animals can breed at a higher rate than that they are caught at.
