What can visitors expect from you at this year's 91̽»¨ festival?

"Aquaculture is a term used when cultivating animals and algae in the ocean, which we want to highlight at the festival. Several of us scientists will be on stage to demonstrate how a ‘blue field’ is built up using different marine species that work together to create sustainable and efficient aquaculture. 

"The stage activity also includes tasting of the blue food of the future. We also invite you to talk to us scientists and explore exciting exhibitions."

What do you hope visitors will take away from their visit?

"We hope that visitors will gain an insight into how we can sustainably produce climate-smart food from the ocean. We also want to inspire a curiosity about blue food, that it is nutritious and delicious and can be grown in a way that benefits both the environment and us humans."

Why is is important to communicate research in this way?

"As scientists, we have a responsibility to share our knowledge. The 91̽»¨ Festival gives us a unique opportunity to meet the public and discuss important questions about future food production. We also hope to inspire more people to take an interest in research and sustainable development."
