Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans Costas Kadis launched an EU-wide campaign about aquaculture in the EU. The campaign, developed in collaboration with member states and the Aquaculture Advisory Council, focuses on raising awareness, understanding and support for the development of aquaculture in the EU.

Under the rallying title EU aquaculture. We work for you with passion, this campaign will, over the next three months, showcase the dedication and commitment of EU producers to sustainable aquaculture and to providing high-quality products. It will also show the benefits of developing this activity in the EU. By increasing production within the EU, we can reduce our dependence on imports for food and boost local economies.

The campaign features nine different species (mussels, trout, clams, seabream, oysters, carp, salmon, meagre, and seaweed) and many aquaculture producers. Through videos, educational content, and a road trip around EU aquaculture sites, a better understanding of how the sector works, its benefits, and live an immersive experience “from farm to plate” will be gained.
