The ‘Brainwaves’ project, which is being led by ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã College Cork, will use duckweed to treat wastewater, typically slurry, from both beef and dairy farms.

Duckweed has a natural ability to thrive in and purify polluted water and is amongst the fastest-growing plants. 

It is also edible and considered a supply of animal feed which is high in protein, making it a promising feed-stock to replace costly soybean.

BRAINWAVES is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales Cooperation Programme
