The Project
Work structure
High resolution climate projections and forecasting
Develop climate databases, multidecadal projections, and an AI-based early warning system for the Mediterranean.
Mediterranean actions
Design climate-resilient aquafeeds, phage therapies, and AI-based monitoring tools for seabass.
Delta actions
Support mussel and clam farming in deltas, address invasive blue crab threats, and develop IMTA prototypes in the Po, Ebro, and Nile deltas
Central eastern European inland waters
Improve carp, trout, and catfish farming resilience with novel feeds, IMTA systems using duckweed, and biosensors for pathogens
Northeast Atlantic actions
Enhance salmon farming with functional feeds and genetics to reduce complex gill disease and improve smolt quality
Sustainability and circularity
Assess environmental, social, and economic impacts through Life Cycle Assessment and circularity analysis
Communication, dissemination and exploitation
Maximise impact through outreach, policy briefs, and exploitation strategies
Competence and knowledge mobilisation
Offer training, webinars, and develop the Virtual ActFast Lighthouse for immersive demonstrations
ActFast is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action (Grant Agreement No. 101181159) dedicated to identifying, validating, and demonstrating climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions tailored for European aquaculture.
Our Mission
ActFast’s mission is to help European aquaculture thrive in the face of climate change. By combining climate intelligence, innovative feeds, health solutions, and circular farming systems, we empower aquafarmers to build resilient, sustainable, and low-carbon production that supports communities, protects ecosystems, and strengthens Europe’s food security
The Team
The project brings together 28 partners from across Europe and neighbouring countries to co-develop, test, and demonstrate solutions that make aquaculture more resilient, sustainable, and climate-smart.
