Sustainability as a food governance problem

In this chapter, I examine the institutionalisation of sustainability as a food governance problem for Scottish salmon, Aquitaine trout and Greek seabream and seabass. In so doing, I connect issues associated with the growing of fish to those associated with its selling as a food product. ¹ Of course, aquaculture is a food industry. ² Yet the question can be raised whether, and how, sustainability is posed as a food governance problem. Whereas Chapter 4 covered sustainability issues cast by actors as problems from the farm scale and up to the water body/watershed scale, the following Chapter 5 covered sustainability issues cast by actors as problems from the water body/watershed scale and up to the community, regional and state-wide scales. What follows addresses sustainability issues potentially cast by actors as extending from the local market up to the global market scale.
