circular business models for dynamic rural communities

Description

Production of protein of high quality from grass and legumes in a small green biorefinery process

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

The conversion of annual crops such as maize, rapeseed and cereals into grassland can significantly reduce nitrate leaching under EU water framework directive. The grass needs to be valorized then.

Objective

To develop and implement the technology to process grass and legumes for both bioeconomy purposes and grassland management.
