Welcome to a day of insight, dialogue and collaboration on how residual raw materials can become an important driver for value creation, sustainable growth and strengthened food security.

The Norwegian blue and green sectors are facing increasing demands for resource utilization, sustainability and security of supply. At the same time, residual raw materials and by-products represent significant opportunities for developing new products, strengthening the raw material base for feed and food production and creating increased value from existing resources.

How can businesses better exploit these opportunities? What technological, market and regulatory barriers need to be overcome? And how can collaboration across value chains contribute to increased competitiveness, more circular food systems and better national preparedness?

A collaboration from Land Meets Sea

We invite you to a meeting where stakeholders from fisheries and aquaculture, agriculture, feed industry, processing industry, technology development and research meet to share experiences, discuss challenges and explore new collaboration opportunities.

The goal is to identify solutions that can contribute to increased resource utilization and new value chains based on raw materials that currently have untapped potential.

Throughout the day you will gain insight into ongoing research and innovation projects that develop knowledge and solutions for the feed and food systems of the future. The projects SirkFôr, FORSYNE, FLEXBIO, Chicken Meal for Salmon Feed and Fremtidsfôr will present results and experiences that show how residual raw materials can be converted into new products, strengthen Norwegian raw material readiness and contribute to increased value creation in both the blue and green sectors.

The meeting is an arena for those who want to understand future opportunities, make new contacts and help develop robust, profitable and sustainable food systems.
