UCC project aims to assist Ireland鈥檚 agri industry by turning slurry into animal feed
20 Apr 2020
Led by Prof Marcel Jansen of UCC鈥檚 School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences and the Environmental Research Institute, the project 鈥楤rainwaves鈥 has just received 鈧 1.4 million in funding under the Ireland Wales 2014-2020 European Territorial Co-operation (ETC) programme.
Prof Jansen speaking at the launch of the project said, 鈥淭he availability of copious amounts of cheap, chemical fertilisers can鈥檛 be taken for granted any longer, and novel techniques are required to re-use plant nutrients and enhance the environmental sustainability of modern agriculture across the board. In Europe as a whole we have duckweed as a neglected source of high quality protein, and excellent potential as a feed additive.鈥
