Fish and tomatoes: often a great tasting combination in the kitchen but combining the growing of vegetables and the breeding of a fish species does not seem to be an obvious choice.
Priva set up the EcoFutura project in partnership with Groen Agro Control, GreenQ and Aqua-Terra Nova.

Fish farming is the solution to overfishing. Fish farming methods that are commonly used on a global scale do, however, have a large negative environmental impact.

This is why several initiatives have been started to make fish farming more sustainable.

EcoFutura is one of these initiatives.

 



The project studied the possibilities of integrating fish farming in a closed cultivation system as is normally used in greenhouse farming.
This is the most sustainable method of fish farming because recycling water, heat and space is given priority and contaminated water is not discharged.
