Arctic Horizons Blue Food

The AlgaeFood project coordinator was part of the delegation at an event in the European Parliament, helping to position the project within the broader discussion on sustainable Arctic futures. The strong message that “we need an all-of-society approach to the Arctic” underlines the urgency of developing new, sustainable food solutions. In this context, AlgaeFood contributes by advancing innovative ocean-based foods, as part of the growing “blue food” sector.
This directly supports the recognition that food security is also security, and aligns with global ambitions to increase the share of nutrition derived from the ocean. As the Arctic warms at an accelerated pace and food production increasingly shifts northward, sustainable marine resources will play a crucial role.
Projects like AlgaeFood demonstrate how research, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration can help unlock this potential, while ensuring that fragile ecosystems are protected and that solutions are developed inclusively and responsibly.
