AquaFarm 2023: Energy and water resources are among the main topics of the next edition

Three months to the sixth edition of AquaFarm, the main exhibition on aquaculture, shellfish farming and sustainable fishing of the Mediterranean basin and Southern Europe, organised by Pordenone Fiere in co-operation with API (Italian fish farmers association) and AMA (mediterranean fish farmers association). 

The event brings together the entire production and trade chain of the aquaculture sector: according to FAO, fish and shellfish farming represent today one of the most strategically important food production activities worldwide, one of the very few that can provide healthy and nutritious food for the growing global population without affecting ecosystems.

The exhibition area will be combined with a rich programme of conferences and meetings dedicated to the most important topics in Research & Innovation fields. Among the issues, there are two major challenges: the climate change, including the relevant water deficit, and the energy issue. The conference programme is complemented by special events and workshops organised by some of the largest European-funded research programmes, featuring Italian and international institutions, universities and companies.

"AquaFarm has already confirmed to have overcome the pandemic shock, considering that the last edition was visited by more than 2.000 professionals from 40 countries', affirms Renato Pujatti, President of Pordenone Fiere. "The next edition marks the beginning of a new phase - in an era that is perhaps even more uncertain - but aware to setting the stage for a sector that is crucial for the short, medium and long term future of the planet."
