The fish industry and the pillars of sustainable development

Abstract

Sustainability, over the years, has become one of the main concerns of modern society (PIRES et al., 2014). In addition, with population growth, increased demand for protein and the impacts caused by anthropogenic action continuously modifying the environment (SILVA, 2018), one of the main challenges of the agricultural sectors is a sustainable production of food, aiming at food security and reducing the environmental impacts generated by the activity (FAO, 2018). Therefore, for sustainable development to occur, it is necessary that there is a harmonization between economic development, preservation of the environment, social justice (access to quality public services), quality of life and the rational use of nature's resources.
