This deliverable presents a conceptual framework for community-driven regenerative ocean farming, defining key principles and methods that restore ecosystems and support coastal communities. It outlines policy context, case studies, and value chain insights, forming the foundation for future tools and assessments in the C-FAARER project.

This deliverable translates the C-FAARER conceptual framework into practical tools, including presentation materials and a self-assessment toolkit. It visualizes the regenerative ocean farming system, showcases industry exemplars, and provides guidance for farmers to evaluate and improve ecological and socio-economic performance.

This deliverable assesses the feasibility of community-driven regenerative ocean farming, focusing on seaweed cultivation. It combines literature review and interviews with Norwegian seaweed farmers to examine production methods, environmental impacts, innovation needs, business models, and regulatory conditions. The findings inform the transition to sustainable and scalable seaweed aquaculture in Europe.

This deliverable provides in-depth insights from follow-up case studies of seaweed farms in the Norwegian Seaweed Association cluster. It explores technical innovations, operational strategies, and environmental practices that align with regenerative aquaculture. The report highlights real-world experiences, challenges, and lessons.

This deliverable explores the socio-economic and business dimensions of Norway’s seaweed sector through the lens of the Norwegian Seaweed Association cluster. It presents case studies and other stakeholder insights to highlight community engagement, rural development, and hybrid business models, offering recommendations for scaling a sustainable and collaborative seaweed industry.

This deliverable examines how members of the Norwegian Seaweed Association add value to regenerative aquaculture products through processing and product innovation. It presents case studies highlighting biomass applications in food, feed, skincare, and ecosystem services, while exploring processing methods, energy use, and sustainability trade-offs across the value chain.

This deliverable explores the feasibility and innovation potential of seaweed as a key product in regenerative ocean farming, focusing on quality traits, processing methods, and value chain development. It examines how regenerative practices affect biomass quality, highlights preservation and stabilization techniques such as drying, freezing, and fermentation, and evaluates technologies that support energy efficiency, full biomass utilization, and reduced environmental impact. The report also assesses market opportunities, product applications, and downstream value chains, aiming to guide decision-making and support the transition to sustainable marine production systems.

This deliverable outlines the strategy for effectively sharing the project's goals, activities, and results through targeted dissemination, exploitation, and communication efforts. It presents a plan to engage stakeholders via various channels—such as social media, workshops, publications, and a co-creation platform—to raise awareness, promote knowledge transfer, and support the adoption of regenerative ocean farming practices.

The C-FAARER White Paper outlines key lessons and policy recommendations to advance regenerative seaweed farming in Europe. It draws on two years of stakeholder engagement, field insights, and research to highlight opportunities for community-led approaches, improved licensing, market development, and ecosystem-based management.

This guidebook offers a practical learning tool for new and early-stage regenerative ocean farming ventures. It is structured as a modular training program that includes five key topics: an introduction to regenerative ocean farming, business models, financing, market trends, and technical considerations. Designed for use in workshops or self-directed learning, the guidebook combines slides and tutor notes with real-world case studies and business model templates. It draws on insights from the C-FAARER project, NBS EduWorld, and other initiatives, aiming to equip entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools needed to launch and scale sustainable ocean farming businesses.

This deliverable describes the development and integration of the C-FAARER project website and its dedicated communities on the Connecting Nature Enterprise Platform (CNEP). It outlines how these platforms serve as public and stakeholder-facing hubs for sharing project updates, resources, and collaboration opportunities, with the aim of enhancing engagement, knowledge transfer, and the long-term adoption of regenerative ocean farming practices.
