Researchers from Blue Food shared their knowledge during Västerhavsveckan
During the recent Västerhavsveckan, researchers from Blå mat have been sharing information about seafood, research, and the centre.
Kristina Snuttan Sundell, Blue Food’s coordinator for knowledge building and a professor at the University of Gothenburg, gave a presentation titled ”Havets skafferi – den blå maten för en grön framtid” (“The Ocean’s Pantry—Blue Food for a Green Future”) at Oscars in Lysekil. The audience learned how we can eat more sustainably produced food from the ocean and lakes, particularly by utilising more species and parts of the fish, as well as circular production systems.
Ingrid Undeland, Blue Food’s research coordinator and professor at Chalmers, gave a presentation titled ”Sill-icon valley – en nod för framtidens mat från havet” (“Herring Valley—A Hub for the Future of Seafood”) in Ellös on Orust. Ingrid Undeland’s research group is working on the next generation of seafood based on, among other things, seaweed, microalgae, small pelagic fish species, fish byproducts, and mussels. Martin Kuhlin from the Blue Food partner Sweden Pelagic also participated in the presentation. Ingrid Undeland has long collaborated with Sweden Pelagic to ensure that more marine raw materials are used as food rather than feed.
Fredrik Gröndahl, Blue Food's centre director and a researcher at KTH, participated in an open house at the Kristineberg Marine Research Station and spoke with a large number of visitors about Blue Food and algae.
