Why farm noble crayfish? Are there sustainably farmed fish? These were some of the issues we discussed with the visitors at SLUs Food Festival "Matologi".

Aquaculture at Matologi

As part of Future Foods activities at Matologi, aquaculture was represented by Lennart Edsman, researcher at the Department of Aquatic Resources, and Anna Norman Haldén and Eva-Stina Lindell, Coordinator and Communicator for the platform SLU Aquaculture. 

Our table attracted a lot of interested visitors and we had the opportunity to talk about sustainable aquaculture farming in general, and how SLU research contributes nationally and globally. Lennart Edsman informed about how to farm noble crayfish and also demonstrated a living crayfish named "Astor".

Aim with Matologi

The aim is to disseminate knowledge based on the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences's research - in order for our visitors to make better and more informed choices about the foods we choose and how we can use our world's resources in a sustainable way.
