Kickoff meeting
Why Us?
We bring together leading aquaculture, nutrition, ecology and social science experts from across Europe to diversify aquaculture with low‑trophic species and circular feed solutions.
Working across key marine and inland regions, the consortium tests real‑world systems that improve health and welfare, cut environmental footprints and strengthen climate resilience.
Through close collaboration with producers, policymakers and citizens, DIVERSIFY4Future turns scientific innovation into practical pathways for greener, healthier aquatic food.
Our Objectives
Diversify low‑trophic aquaculture
Develop farming of algae, shellfish and other low‑trophic species to make European aquaculture more sustainable and resilient
Innovate circular feeds and systems
Design feed and production systems that reuse resources and cut waste across aquaponics, IMTA and other integrated models
Boost health, welfare and One Health
Improve fish health, welfare and environmental performance using a One Health approach that connects people, animals and ecosystems
Engage consumers and policymakers
Increase awareness, market uptake and policy support for diverse aquatic foods through social science, communication and stakeholder engagement
