Aquaculture: Innovation and Sustainability
Systems for aquatic animals farming, depuration and storage
Aquaculture, or farming of aquatic organisms, represents a fundamental resource in sustainable food production. With increasing global demand for seafood and pressure on wild fish resources, aquaculture emerges as a vital solution to ensuring food security and promoting a sustainable blue economy.
This sector, characterized by the controlled farming of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and algae in freshwater and saltwater environments, stands out for its ability to integrate technological innovations and sustainable management practices. Italy, together with other countries, is exploring extensive, intensive and semi-intensive open and closed circuit aquaculture methods to optimize production, reduce environmental impact and increase the quality of the final product.
