Aquaculture can be a key option for mitigating this situation, as it allows demand to be met without compromising sustainability of the natural surroundings. However, the farming of aquatic animal species can also impact the environment and pollute ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure the sector\u2019s long-term sustainability, the AZTI technology centre, a member of the BRTA alliance, is coordinating the European <strong>LIFE AQUAPEF project,<\/strong> an initiative aiming to develop technology that can calculate, verify and communicate the environmental impact of aquaculture products in the Mediterranean, in accordance with the European Product Environmental Footprint methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"850\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/aquapef_soluciones_digitale.jpg\" alt=\"aquapef_soluciones_digitales_acuicultura\" class=\"wp-image-27129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/aquapef_soluciones_digitale.jpg 850w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/aquapef_soluciones_digitale-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/aquapef_soluciones_digitale-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/aquapef_soluciones_digitale-450x294.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><figcaption>Photo: Saioa Ramos (AZTI)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was launched in 2018 and will culminate late this year. It specifically created a tool that has already been validated for the production of gilt-head bream and European bass by three of the aquaculture companies involved in the project: the Spanish Culmar and the Greek Skironis and Forkys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aim of the project is to enable more efficient communication mechanisms, both between companies in the sector (B2B) and between producers and end-consumers (B2C). Different dissemination systems are therefore being studied in the project, with a view to improving the position of aquaculture products that present better sustainability conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe EU is developing a methodology to assess the environmental impact of any product or service: the Product Environmental Footprint. AQUAPEF aims to meet the need to facilitate application of this new regulatory framework in the sector by means of a simple tool that aqua-farmers can use to calculate and verify the environmental impact of their products,\u201d says project coordinator Saioa Ramos, a researcher in Efficient and Sustainable Processes at AZTI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technology developed will also help identify the impact\u2019s causes and origins; decision-making based on environmental criteria should therefore be easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AQUAPEF is financed by the European Commission\u2019s LIFE programme. It counts the participation of seven international partners: AZTI, the HCMR technology centre in Greece, KU Leuven in Belgium, the Spanish software development company INGENET and the aforementioned aquaculture producers Culmar, Forkys and Skironis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur involvement in this initiative is linked to our mission to help develop the product environmental footprint. Initiatives must necessarily be undertaken to quantify, improve and communicate the degree of sustainability of the food and beverages we consume, thereby encouraging more sustainable production and more responsible consumption,\u201d Ramos explains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AZTI technology centre is coordinating the AQUAPEF project, an initiative seeking to develop a solution to calculate and verify the environmental impact of aquaculture The tool developed in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":27126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":[],"_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"tax-big-challenge":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
