During this scene Bren Smith is discussing the importance of his 3D ocean farming. Bren\u2019s shellfish and seaweeds are zero input foods, because they do not need fresh water, fertilizer, feed, or aired land to grow. These foods, farmed in this system, will be the most sustainable and most affordable food for the world with the coming climate change. Oysters filter up to 50 gallons of water a day this helps pull nitrogen out from the ocean. Kelp soaks up to 5 times more carbon than any land-based plant, earning them the name the sequoia of the sea. Kelp produces 5 times more ethanol per acer than corn does, The New Yorker even called kelp the culinary equivalent of the electric car. These 3D farms also help out the ocean ecosystem by creating artificial reefs and storm surge protectors. Over 150 different spices are attracted to these farms and feed and thrive within them. These zero input crops can also be used to replace land-based feeds and fertilizers. By feeding cattle a kelp-based diet, it can reduce up to 90% of methane outputs. Kelp also creates a delicious umami and slightly salty beef! These farms are helping to transform pillaging fishers to restorative ocean farmers, thus helping to create a new climate cuisine that builds a bridge between land and sea food systems. By creating a small footprint farm, which uses the full water column by growing vertically, we can help restore the ocean, instead of depleting its ecosystems. There is almost no other large scale farming that creates a negative carbon footprint. Imagine if the boats that are used to get to these farms were using a combo of wind and the biofuel from kelp, talk about no carbon footprint! These farms are also helping ease the plight of ocean acidification, along with curving over fishing and the pollution of local waterways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>#4b: (un)Natural
