From Sea to Society (FS2S): an initiative for a low trophic aquaculture system for the sustainable production of functional proteins for human consumption.
There is urgent need for an alternative, sustainable, efficient protein production chain. We will initiate a marine, efficient, sustainable low trophic aquaculture (LTA) chain, based on biomass from combined seaweed-mussel cultivation.
Social innovation and creation of value along the protein production chain form the key goals of the project. They are supported by breakthroughs in the natural sciences, such as selective breeding of sterile seaweeds, innovative biorefinery of seaweed biomass and insight in the carrying capacity of the natural marine ecosystem. The knowledge and skills gained will be integrated in the FS2S learning community, that will ensure the LTA continuity.
