On October 10-11, ProRMAS project team participated in the Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security, and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI) and Green ERA-Hub (GEH) joint conference Towards New Horizons – Sustainable solutions in Agri-Food and Biotechnology in Berlin, where 17 transnational research projects funded by GEH were presented.
The event brought together researchers, policymakers, funding agencies, and various initiatives from the EU and beyond. Focused on sustainable agriculture, food security, and biotechnology, the conference served as a platform to highlight innovative initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impacts by leveraging natural, eco-friendly methods in agriculture and environmental management.
During the conference, Isabela Pinheiro, researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, presented ProRMAS project and its vision of producing valuable proteins and organic fertilizers from saline water sources using a recirculating multitrophic aquaponic system (RMAS). The interactive sessions provided an excellent opportunity to share insights and explore potential collaborations with other research initiatives.
The international research project ProRMAS, funded by GEH, is implemented in Germany, Italy, and Lithuania by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, University of Padova, and Klaipėda Science and Technology Park.
