The project is set to last four years. The idea is the ingredients have strong circular economy and carbon footprint credentials.
With a €1.3m budget, the initiative is primarily funded by the Research Council of Norway and as well as Nofima, comprises another research organization, SINTEF Ocean, along with companies: InnovaFeed, Corbion Algae Ingredients, Cargill, and French retailer, Auchan.
The project will study two alternative feed ingredients – an insect-based feed from InnovaFeed and an algae-based omega-3 product from Corbion.
Compatibility of ingredients with dietary requirements of salmon
The evidence-based study will test the levels that are required to optimize physical and nutritional needs of salmon, discover the practical and functional properties of both alternatives, as well as demonstrate the environmental and societal aspects of the suggested innovations.
SINTEF Ocean will be conducting a life cycle analysis of the resulting feed.
“By joining forces, we are accelerating the innovation in the sector to find new solutions to increase the flexibility in the choice of sustainable raw materials for future fish feed,” said Katerina Kousoulaki, project leader and senior scientist at Nofima.
The project was formed as a response to the critical need to accelerate the global momentum around sourcing, scaling and developing sustainable, alternative solutions for aquaculture and to address changing consumer behavior.
The UN FAO predicts the world will reach 9 billion people by 2050 and with its +5% year-over-year production growth, aquaculture is expected to play a critical role in assuring global food security. To meet this need, the FAO urges the industry to catalyze change, calling on it to produce more nutritious food using less resources, emitting lower carbon dioxide emissions and protecting biodiversity and the resilience of ecosystems.
