AGRILOOP- high values products form agricultural resideues through sustainable chains

Description

Conversion of agri-residues into plant and microbial protein

Sector

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

Needs/ Problem statement

valorising the agro-industries residues

Objective

AgriLoop will develop safe-and-sustainable-by-design (SSbD) bioconversion processes integrated in a cascading biorefinery approach to convert a range of agri-residues (from e.g. tomato, soy, straw, potato, brewery, oil, winery and livestock sectors) into plant and microbial proteins, polyesters and other bio-based chemicals to be used for food, feed, health and materials applications, especially by the farming sector.
