EU Aquaculture Assistance Mechanism

Future growth in sustainable, resilient and climate friendly organic and conventional European aquaculture (FutureEUAqua)

Description

FutureEUAqua is a four-and-half-year project funded by EU Horizon 2020, aimed at promoting the sustainable growth of climate-change resilient, environmentally-friendly organic and conventional aquaculture of major fish species and low trophic level organisms in Europe in order to meet the growing consumer demand for high quality, nutritious and responsibly produced food.

Tangible results: The project developed a free online multi-stakeholder platform where aquaculture experts (industry, policy, academia, etc.) can: find solutions through access to a wide range of aquaculture experts; share best practices; and develop ideas, skills, and knowledge. In addition, FutureEUAqua has made available the training materials from the online course “Sustainable, resilient and climate friendly Blue Growth of EU Aquaculture and Beyond”, hosted by CIHEAM Bari’s eLearning platform. FutureEUAqua is also the developing commercially relevant tailored-made aquafeeds with a low environmental impact.

Application/relevance: The project contributes to future EU and international policies on aquaculture; improves professional skills and competences within the sector; and increases the availability, accessibility and affordability of food and feed, while conserving natural resources and contributing to climate change mitigation.
