Funder identifier: 101093888 (EU contract id) Principal funding codes: 3858 - Horizon Europe - Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Acronym: ULT-FARMS Period: January 2023 till June 2027 Status: In Progress
The EU-funded ULTFARMS project aims to move beyond the current low trophic aquaculture (LTA) systems with novel engineering, technical, ecological and biological processes to improve production potential in harsh offshore conditions and/or low-salinities while supporting LTA integration with offshore wind farms (OWFs). The project will engage research and industry in co-developing and co-managing novel designs and operations in six LTA pilots in OWF locations across the North and Baltic Seas. The ambition is to advance LTA in offshore hostile environments while safeguarding the environment, minimising carbon footprint and addressing commercial viability. Finally, ULTFARMS will aim towards the replicability and transferability of the newly acquired knowledge.
