Fremtidssikker Bærekraftig Fiskefôr Fra Sopp

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

One of the greatest challenges humanity faces is producing enough healthy and delicious food while simultaneously reducing the environmental impact of food production. The high environmental footprint—CO2 emissions, land, and water use—associated with animal production makes it crucial to find new, high-quality, and scalable protein sources with a reduced impact. Proteins derived from fungal biomass offer a promising solution. This project is designed to generate new knowledge, approaches, and technologies to scale up the production of protein-rich fungal biomass for the aquaculture industry. Given that fungi are nature's great recyclers, our R&D efforts focus on uncovering innovative methods to upcycle byproducts from the process industry, enabling large-scale growth of fungal biomass to produce a cost-competitive fish feed ingredient. These R&D efforts, and fish feeding trials will provide the critical insights needed to scale up our protein-rich biomass for commercialization.
