Conference Theme
Under the theme “Feeding Innovation Through Partnership,” this event will showcase cutting-edge science, practical innovation, and global collaboration across research, industry, and policy. As aquaculture expands to meet growing food demands, ISFNF 2026 offers a vital platform to tackle sustainability, feed efficiency, and nutritional resilience head-on.
At the heart of this is the recognition that partnerships are essential — between public and private sectors, but also across borders, institutions, and disciplines. Collaboration among research organisations, industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators from around the world allows knowledge to be shared, technologies to be scaled, and challenges to be tackled from multiple angles.
Together, these partnerships ensure that innovation is not only accelerated but also translated into real-world impact, enabling the development and adoption of next-generation aquafeeds. Join us to share knowledge, spark partnerships, and shape the future of aquaculture nutrition.
