SAFE
Ongoing
Sustainable bioeconomy: aquaculture, biodiversity, biotechnology, and integrated freshwater uses.
The SAFE project aims to make aquaculture more sustainable by valorizing solid and liquid waste from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) through circular economy approaches.
The economic viability of aquaculture will be improved through significant progress in management systems and the integration of waste streams from freshwater aquaculture systems (FWAS) into the aquaculture feed chain.
SAFE will enable the adoption of these solutions through local and regional demonstrations across the EU and document the management and governance conditions necessary for successful transferability.
The multidisciplinary expertise of a consortium covering a wide range of systems, species, and geographical areas will target the valorization of species with specific biodiversity concerns, such as native European crayfish.
We will improve the sustainability of aquaculture production and study the feasibility of diversification by rearing underrepresented species (yellow perch) and valuable crayfish species in decline.
