RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
We accomplish while innovating
Philosofish R&D
In Philosofish we are very keen to learn and accelerate our know-how and for this reason, we are in collaboration with leading academics and partners focusing on diverse types of projects.
Our R&D team works closely with all operating units, aiming to improve the quality and the nutritional value of final products and increase sustainability indexes and efficiency of production.
Philosofish has a dedicated trial farm where all new ideas are implemented on a small scale and results are monitored in detail. R&D looks for new technologies and innovations in the market for testing in commercial conditions at all operating units.
Our Genetics program
Philosofish has created a project for selective breeding and works intensively to improve 3 major Mediterranean marine species. Our breeding program is performed in close collaboration with a scientific external partner, aiming to increase food production output, growth efficiency, but also to improve the health and well-being of our fish. We use high-tech breeding techniques to create robust, healthy fish, and improve fillet quality. .
FOODGUARD project
How do microbiome applications and technological hubs work as solutions to minimize food loss and waste? That’s the question.
In an effort to answer this question and make a change, Philosofish has partnered up with FOODGUARD, a program dedicated to pioneering co-created solutions that support innovations based on the microbiome, microbial activities, and technology hubs.
The main goal is to tackle critical challenges spanning food, health, the economy, and the environment.
Through an integrated approach, we offer a comprehensive framework of tools and methodologies designed to deliver sustainable solutions across the entire food value chain. From food processing to packaging, our focus is on extending shelf life and reducing waste, ensuring a more holistic and impactful approach to the future of food.
