Fish sludge as a sustainable soil amendment: Bridging Aquaculture and Agriculture

Join us as we dive into an exciting opportunity to create sustainable solutions at the crossroads of aquaculture and agriculture! On the 6th February 2025, we are hosting a hybrid event to explore the transformative potential of fish sludge as a soil amendment. This event is designed to foster collaboration, spark innovation, and address key challenges in utilising this nutrient-rich resource.

What to Expect

The event will begin with a series of engaging presentations:

  • The Science of Fish Sludge: Hear from experts at Matís about the latest research and innovations in fish sludge applications.
  • Farming Perspectives: Gain valuable insights from the chairman of the Association of Organic Farmers.

For those attending on-site, a delicious lunch will be served during the presentations.

Dive Into Discussions

After the presentations, the event shifts gears to a more interactive format. Break-out room discussions over coffee will provide an opportunity to explore key topics such as processing methods, practical applications in farming, market opportunities, environmental benefits, and navigating regulatory challenges of fish sludge as a soil amendment. These discussions aim to connect diverse perspectives and foster actionable solutions for using fish sludge effectively and sustainably.

This is your chance to connect with professionals across industries, share ideas, and contribute to shaping the future of sustainable farming practices.
