AWARE Leaders #5 A Visionary in Sustainable Food Production: Gian Pietro di Sansebastiano 🪪 Gian-Pietro Di Sansebastiano, a distinguished professor of Botany at the University of Salento, is spearheading a groundbreaking project to revolutionize food production using reclaimed wastewater. As the leader of a multidisciplinary team, Gian Pietro is determined to demonstrate the feasibility of aquaponics, a sustainable farming method that combines aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (soilless plant cultivation), in urban environments. 🔬Gian Pietro's passion for sustainable agriculture is evident in his ambitious goals. He envisions a future where cities can utilize their wastewater to produce their own food, creating a more self-sufficient and environmentally friendly urban ecosystem. By successfully demonstrating the viability of this approach, Sebastiano hopes to influence European regulations and encourage a broader adoption of sustainable water management practices. 🌿With his extensive expertise in plant biology and his ability to coordinate a diverse team of experts, Gian Pietro is well-positioned to overcome the challenges associated with this project. He is confident that by combining advanced water treatment technologies with innovative aquaponic systems, they can produce high-quality food while minimizing environmental impact. As Gian Pietro and his team continue their research, the world eagerly awaits the results of their groundbreaking work. Their success could pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient future for urban communities around the globe. #AWAREProject #SustainableAquaponics #InnovativeResearch #Aquaculture #FishFeeds #CircularEconomy #SustainabilityInAction European Research Executive Agency (REA) INNOVA - Technology Transfer and Valorisation Universidad Rey Juan Carlos Universidade Católica Portuguesa Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research CSIC Luiss Guido Carli University LabGov ETS European Aquaculture Society Green in Blue Ulster University AIGUANATURA DELS PORTS SL Università del Salento Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) 3CENGINEERING SRL SEMPLIFICATA Universidade do Porto
