Worldwide demand for shrimp is causing harm to the environment as well as endangering those working to farm it.

New Wave Foods say that their synthetic prawns - made using plant proteins and algae - will provide a sustainable alternative to the real thing. Their CEO Dominique Barnes spoke to Dan Damon.
