BLUE FOOD -center for future seafood

Research Project, 2021 – 2024

Through research and dispersion of knowledge, BLUE FOOD wants to improve the conditions for seafood production and increase the understanding of seafood. The research focuses on increased food production based on wild-caught fish and sustainable farming of algae, fish and other edible animals in circular systems. We will develop smart process methods where complex raw materials are transformed into new food ingredients and products.

The research will also concentrate on consumer attitudes and the health effects of seafood as well as the environmental impact of seafood production including animal health and welfare in the production systems. Blue Food also focuses on administrative obstacles and the planning of water and coastal zones.
