FishEUTrust in Action!

Every seafood dish has a story to tell—and thanks to FishEUTrust, that story is becoming more transparent than ever. We're delighted that our project partner, Bugenvila Cavtat Restaurant in the beautiful coastal town of Cavtat, Croatia, is helping to raise awareness of seafood traceability and sustainability by showcasing the FishEUTrust initiative to its customers.

By learning where seafood comes from, how it was produced, and the journey it takes from farm (or sea) to plate, consumers can make more informed choices and gain greater confidence in the food they eat. If you're visiting Cavtat, stop by Bugenvila Restaurant and discover the story behind your seafood!

REDINN at Living Labs Events

On May 30th, REDINN’s Leonardo Piccinetti, REDINN’s Managing Director, attended an event hosted by the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). The event, Living Labs: A Strategic Approach to Advancing the European Commission’s Missions, was created to provide a space for stakeholders and representatives of the EU’s missions to discuss and learn ways in which they can elevate projects and meet objectives through Living Labs. Mr. Piccinetti describes the event as, “an exciting opportunity to connect with other organizations” and generate “new innovative ideas for FishEUTrust.”

While there, Leonardo had the opportunity to meet with Ms. Martina De Sole, Director at ENoLL, and Mr. Jokin Garatea, Concejal de Sostenibilidad del Ayuntamiento de Forua. They discussed ways in which they could foster collaborations with FishEUTrust and other living labs in blue economy space. The outcomes of these discussions were exciting. One of the hot topics was cross-pollination amongst Living Labs in order to exchange best practices, resources, knowledge and joint initiatives.

This type of opportunity is paramount to ensure the impact of the FishEUTrust project and exploit the potential of Living Labs to foster innovative solutions and tackle some of the most urgent challenges in the frame of blue economy, safe and nutritious food supply and consumer trust.

Sister projects combine at Aquaculture Europe 2023

Aquaculture is the world’s most diverse farming practice in terms of species, farming methods, intensity level, and is one of the most sustainable ways of providing animal protein to some of the 8.5bn people expected to populate Earth by 2030. While aquaculture on a global scale is booming, its growth in the EU is stagnant—something the European Commission would like to change. Four EU projects, EUMOFA, FishEUTrust, SAFE, and SEA2SEE, dealing with various aspects of aquaculture will share a stand (102-103) at Aquaculture Europe 2023 in Vienna, Austria on 18-21 September. Visit us to learn how we seek to accelerate growth in EU aquaculture.

FishEUTrust is also jointly presenting with Sea2See: “New technologies and approaches for sustainable seafood supply chain”.

You can also see all the EU projects that are participaring at AE23 by clicking here and reading the article prepared by REA.
