EATiP Offshore Aquaculture webinar

The European Farm to Fork strategy aims to reach higher levels of food self-sufficiency through sustainable food production systems. Many different human activities at sea cause pressures and high competition for space in the marine space. The expansion and intensification of economic activities in coastal areas are important drivers to look for opportunities to produce seafood in exposed coastal and ocean areas. This expansion demands new technologies and knowledge to enable safe and profitable operations.

The EATiP Forum, co-hosted by its Mirror Platform NCE Aquatech, will link offshore aquaculture to Europe’s ambitions for Blue Growth, and will address new trends, systems and technologies that contribute to expanding the suitable space for aquaculture production.
