AquaNext is an important arena for Norwegian and international aquaculture, the conference brings together participation from the entire industry.
Feed ingredients of the future
The social mission sustainable feed, which the government has adopted, is about making food systems more sustainable. The goal is to achieve sustainable feed raw material production in Norway, while at the same time working to improve the sustainability of global feed raw materials. The conference day Raw materials of the future is about how we are going to achieve this. Which raw materials can we focus on? What barriers stand in the way?
Low-trophic species
Marine organisms, such as mussels, tunicates, bristle worms, seaweed and kelp, have great potential for increased raw material production, while production can also have a positive effect on marine ecosystems. Therefore, the entire seafood industry will play a major role in the work on new feed raw materials.
Cross-border collaboration
Land meets sea is an initiative to achieve more and better collaboration across agriculture and aquaculture, or both the blue and green bioeconomy. The Raw Materials Day during AquaNext raises issues that apply to both livestock production and fish. The program is diverse and exciting. You will meet industry voices from the entire value chain, authorities and society. Among others: Tore Sandvik, State Secretary to the Minister of Trade and Industry, Christina Abildgård, Department Director at the Research Council of Norway, Ingeborg Kahlbom Wathne, VP Industry Development at Statkraft, Joakim Hauge at Bellona, Hilde Schøyen, Head of Raw Materials, Fiskå Mølle and Ola Hedsten, Partner Rethink Food, Ingrid Dynna, Co-Founder and CEO Norwegian Mycelium.
