He believes society should support local family orient farms that guarantee access to unimpaired food. Per Opperman, great food production starts within local co-op farms that can ultimately lead to a more healthier food chain and food distribution.

Some people in society do not think about the consequences behind overfishing, they only look at fish as some type of food source. Overfishing can completely destroy the food chain and have a major impact on ecosystems, biodiversity and economic. Catching too many fish may seem great now but eventually it begins to endanger the environment and ultimately affects the balance of many fish
