Rosemary, are your tomatoes are indigenous? Have your vegetables taken over our boreal forest. No.

And the “protecting our natural ecosystem” mantra is a bit misleading wouldn’t you say? Land based farming removes forested land which contains rich biodiversity. It takes over 100 years to go back to ‘natural state’. Land based aqua farms also utilize power and freshwater. Hardly minimal impact.

Ocean based farms use little freshwater, little energy and can be back to baseline within months.
