Fed by Blue

“Catch and cook your own shrimp” restaurants are very common in Ho Chi Minh City— the most populous city in Vietnam. As one of the world’s largest shrimp suppliers, Vietnam can show how shrimp farming can go wrong and how it can go right—becoming both healthier and more sustainable. And responsible shrimp aquaculture is critical given this blue food’s worldwide popularity, especially in the U.S. where it’s one of the top 3 most consumed seafoods! In Episode 2 (“Farming the Water”) of #HopeIntheWaterPBS, you can watch how Loc Tran, a scientist in Vietnam is sharing his knowledge of sustainable shrimp aquaculture with former livestock farmers in Minnesota who are looking to make this popular seafood a new bumper crop. And if you’re curious about what it’s like to “catch” your own farmed, antibiotic-free shrimp in Ho Chi Minh City and enjoy it tableside in the healthiest way possible, head over to PBS Food’s YouTube Channel ➡�� https://bit.ly/3y8nxca
