Project description
Charting a sustainable seafood revolution
The seafood industry faces a pressing challenge that demands urgent attention: how can we ensure the socio-economic and environmental sustainability of seafood production and processing while maintaining product quality and safety? In this context, the EU-funded SEAFOODTOMORROW project will search for the answer. It will form a consortium of 19 top research organisations and industry experts. Its aim is to validate and optimise commercial solutions that will address these concerns. By optimising sensors and biosensors for safety assessments, the project will provide a robust framework for quality control, inspiring confidence and trust in seafood products. By promoting user acceptance, increasing visibility and creating scalable markets, the project will improve the availability of healthier seafood options.
Objective
SEAFOODTOMORROW aims to validate and optimize commercial solutions for improving the socioeconomic and environmental sustainability of the seafood production and processing industry, while contributing to product quality and safety. Activities will focus on the sustainable production and processing of nutritious and safe seafood products through the demonstration and first application in the market of eco-innovative, sustainable solutions of marine and aquaculture-derived food products and nutrients. The proposal will take into account impacts across different regions and population segments, as well as the specificities of different types of seafood.
Activities will include among others: utilization of agro and seafood byproducts to develop sustainable feeds for aquaculture enabling the production of tailor made products fortified with specific essential nutrients for consumers, assess the feasibility of salt replacers in seafood, validate digestible, attractive, functional and nutritionally adapted seafood for senior people and youths, validate strategies to prevent/remove contaminants from seafood, and optimize sensors and biosensors for the assessment of safety, among others.
The consortium expects strengthening the wider utilization of eco-innovative solutions, as a result of greater user acceptance, higher visibility of these innovative solutions and creation of scalable markets, and increasing the availability of healthier seafood to improve consumers' diet and health. The consortium is built on interdisciplinary research teams of 19 RTDs involved, renowned by its top-quality applied technological development and with strong and cohesive links gathered in previous funded activities (e.g. FP7 ECsafeSEAFOOD), thus anticipating successful outcomes. In addition, 4 IAGs and 13 SMEs with diverse and complementary interests in the solutions under validation and optimization will also integrate the consortium.
