Objective:
To obtain input / feedback from external stakeholders on the hypotheses developed in work package 1 of the BREADCRUMB project on:
a) the relationship between food marketing standards and food waste.
b) therelationshipbetweenprivateandpublicfoodmarketingstandards.
A presentation will be given on the hypotheses developed as a result of data collected to date (desktop research, literature review, compilation of an inventory of food marketing standards, EU- wide survey, and in-depth interviews) within work package 1. The hypotheses will include those that are specific to the following food commodity categories – fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs, fish, and cereals.

As each year, the Wageningen Fish Nutrition Workshop will be organised, and will take place in Wageningen from February 2-6, 2025. This year's main subject is “Fish Nutrition: Impacts on Gut Functioning and Health”.
Its objective is to provide participants with advanced knowledge on fish nutrition, focusing on gut physiology and health‐related aspects, as well as nutritional impacts on gut functioning. During the workshop we will discuss the latest advances in fish nutrient requirements and sustainable sources, connecting them to fish physiology and health. The use of novel tools in fish nutrition and the implication of microbiota and changes thereof will also be further discussed.

The high-level 2025 United Nations Conference to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development (the 2025 UN Ocean Conference) will be co-hosted by France and Costa Rica and held in Nice, France, from 9 – 13 June 2025.
 
The overarching theme of the Conference is “Accelerating action and mobilizing all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean”. The Conference aims to support further and urgent action to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development and identify further ways and means to support the implementation of SDG 14. It will build on existing instruments to form successful partnerships towards the swift conclusion and effective implementation of ongoing processes that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of the ocean.

The Conference will involve all relevant stakeholders, bringing together Governments, the United Nations system, intergovernmental organizations, international financial institutions, other interested international bodies, non-governmental organizations, civil society organizations, academic institutions, the scientific community, the private sector, philanthropic organizations, Indigenous Peoples and local communities and other actors to assess challenges and opportunities relating to, as well as actions taken towards, the implementation of Goal 14.

With its diversity of species and production technologies, its diversity of market propositions and with its reverence for the environment and the way in which this is changing, Aquaculture is established as an essential sector in global food supply. There is therefore no doubt that aquaculture is and needs to be for everyone.

This all-inclusive concept is feasible and compatible with the environmental integrity of our coastal areas, with the regeneration and sustainability of our primary sectors, with the economic well-being for important food value chains, with the professional and entrepreneurial formation of local human capital and with the long-life learning needs of our public administrations.

Developing social license and promoting not only the production and commercialization of high quality and health aquatic feeds, but also the ecosystem services that aquaculture provides, are key features of AE2025 - giving value to each and every person in Spain and throughout Europe.

The AE2025 parallel sessions will cover the full scope of European aquaculture scientific disciplines and species and will comprise submitted oral and poster presentations. AE2025 will also feature an international trade exhibition, industry forum, student sessions and activities, satellite workshops and updates on EU research.
