AquaFarm, the international exhibition-conference event dedicated to aquaculture and the sustainable fishing industry, organized in collaboration with API, the Italian Fish Farmers Association and AMA, the Mediterranean Aquaculturists Association, will take place from February 14-15, 2024 at Pordenone Fiere, Italy. The trade show combines an exhibition with an extensive program of conferences and workshops dedicated to issues in the sector.
Today, the aquaculture sector is universally recognized as a rapidly growing essential sector. However, its importance is accompanied by inherent challenges due to several factors, such as technical, biological, environmental, economic, and even social issues. Recognizing the need for continuous innovation, particularly in production processes, the session dedicated to farming technological innovation will talk about new technologies capable of optimizing the entire supply chain. The sessions will also talk about how artificial intelligence and data analysis play a fundamental role in improving efficiency and decision-making in the aquaculture sector.
Animal feed has a significant impact on the aquaculture supply chain, both economically and in terms of environmental footprint. Regulation of fishing waste for the use of products as a basis for fish feed, new ingredients such as blue crab and insects, microalgae, and waste from agricultural production are some hot topics and at AquaFarm, researchers and innovators will present projects that have the important aim of making the sector more sustainable through the optimization and improvement of primary resources and ingredients. The appointment is with the conference on circularity and sustainability in feed production.
Research has always been the best ally for looking to the future. In the conference dedicated to technologies and trends in research, researchers and experts from all over the world will present the latest news relating to animal welfare throughout the entire breeding cycle, the use of fish skin in medical therapies, new selection methods and much more.
Participation in the event is free upon online registration on the website, www.aquafarmexpo.it.
