Expertise from aquaculture and horticulture along with companies in the areas of technology and energy are brought together with public actors, unitedly working for a constant improvement of the utilization of residual resources within the food industry.
Future plans
Bengt Fellbe has been leading the SSEC project and will continue as project leader, which will ensure the continuity onwards. Bengt contributes with a wide network and knowledge in food production and the use of untapped resources.
Members of SSEC will now benefit from the expertise WIN possess in areas of water and energy along with the advantage of belonging to a large and growing network with members from these industries, nationally and globally.
The future for SSEC looks bright with some exciting news to bring, there among further collaborations with leading actors in the industry.
