Decarbonisation, biodiversity protection and circularity at the heart of the themes of AquaFarm 2025
From self-production of energy to the integration of different species in the same breeding farm, aquaculture is making significant strides in reducing its environmental footprint. AquaFarm 2025, an international exhibition-conference dedicated to aquaculture and sustainable fishing, will showcase the innovative ways in which the industry is minimizing its impact on the planet.
With farming accounting for 51% of total fish production for human consumption, it is crucial for aquaculture to adopt sustainable practices to meet the growing demand for seafood while preserving the environment. The upcoming AquaFarm event will focus on the theme of “Aquaculture for the planet” to highlight the industry’s commitment to biodiversity protection and coexistence with the natural ecosystem.
Energy Efficiency in Aquaculture
Energy plays a vital role in aquaculture operations, and the industry is increasingly turning towards self-production for sustainability. Technologies such as biogas from wastewater, photovoltaic solutions, and renewable energy sources are being embraced to reduce reliance on traditional energy sources. Speakers at AquaFarm will discuss the importance of energy efficiency in aquaculture and the benefits of self-sufficiency.
Circularity and Innovation
Circularity is a key principle in modern aquaculture, where resources are utilized efficiently to minimize waste. Projects like aquaponics, integrated multitrophic aquaculture, and waste-to-feed initiatives are revolutionizing the way fish farming is conducted. The AquaFarm conference will delve into these innovative approaches that promote sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Collaboration for a Sustainable Future
Researchers, industry stakeholders, and farmers are joining forces to drive sustainability in aquaculture. By sharing knowledge, implementing best practices, and embracing new technologies, the aquaculture sector is paving the way for a more environmentally friendly future. AquaFarm serves as a platform for collaboration and learning, bringing together experts and enthusiasts to explore the latest trends and advancements in the industry.
As AquaFarm 2025 approaches, the focus on decarbonisation, biodiversity protection, and circularity underscores the industry’s dedication to sustainable practices. By prioritizing the health of the planet and the well-being of future generations, aquaculture is shaping a more resilient and responsible food system.
