Feeding urban populations is a global challenge, additionally straining the Food-Water-Energy Nexus. CITYFOOD provides innovative solutions by integrating aqua-agriculture systems into cities.

Shrimp farming rapidly expanded over the last two decades, but animal welfare has largely been overlooked. Only recently, welfare considerations paved the route for stricter regulations on animal welfare in decapod crustaceans.

Agricultural Systems for Future

EU research project to protect endangered migratory fish species (salmon, eel and sturgeon)

Innovative model and demonstration based water management for resource efficiency in integrated multitrophic agriculture and aquaculture systems

NAPROPERA aims to reduce fish losses in aquaculture industry by improving the hygiene condition through correct application of peracetic acid (PAA)-based disinfectants. Although PAA is approved in EU for organic aquaculture production in the presence of fish, its application in aquaculture practice stays rather experimental and lacks control measures. NAPROPERA works on a solution to fill this gap.
