AGRI-FISH

Circular economy application: from the field to the net

Back to index

Agri-Fish is a project coordinated by the University of Camerino and carried out in collaboration with the University of Tiaret (Algeria), the University of Valencia and CNR IRBIM in Ancona. The project will develop innovative feeds for use in aquaculture using waste products mainly from organic farming. The products used will be high quality wastes that can give rise to a high value-added feed rich in active antioxidant compounds, a feature that will improve the health of the fish. Agri-Fish will create an innovative agri-business system capable of linking, in a circular economy perspective, agriculture and aquaculture through the sustainable utilization of agricultural waste, contributing to cooperation, knowledge sharing and enhanced capacity building among different supply chains.

Research Projects

The research activities of the Institute are carried out in the context of research, development and innovation projects, both national and international, based on regional funding programs (POR FEAMPA - Regional Operational Program of the European Maritime Affairs Fisheries Fund and Aquaculture and POR FESR - Regional Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund) or ministerial (PRIN - Projects of relevant national interest, PNRA - National Research Program in Antarctica, PO FEAMPA - National Operational Program European Maritime Affairs Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund) , programs for European Territorial Cooperation (Interreg), direct funding programs of the European Commission (Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe, Life, JPI - Joint Programming Initiatives, ERA-NET Cofund) and thematic collaboration initiatives managed by international organizations such as, for example , the FAO - GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean). The Institute also develops funded projects in the context of collaborations with private companies in the sectors of the blue economy as well as technology transfer and research results. Research projects, mainly of a collaborative nature, are developed through a wide network of partners that include major Italian and foreign research institutions and universities.
