The UK Processors and Growers Research Organisation will lead this ambitious national research programme with 200 UK farms and 18 partners to design an environmentally transformative, economically sustainable arable rotation system to optimise crop rotations for climate benefit. UK farming accounts for 10% of the UK's total GHG emissions p/a (46.3 MT), 68...

The world's population will reach 10 billion people by 2050\. By this point, the demand for animal-based products will have doubled, yet we currently struggle to feed the animals we eat in a sustainable fashion today. Based on Deep Branch Biotechnology's proprietary CO2-to-protein process, the REACT-FIRST consortium will develop feeds with 65-75% smaller ...

Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming is now widely accepted as a key solution to tackling some of the world's biggest challenges in agriculture. BSF can simultaneously recycle food waste into insect-based animal feed (a sustainable alternative to fishmeal) and biofertiliser (a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilisers). This highly complex farming system...

To increase the efficiency of feed conversion in livestock, by developing products that enhance the prebiotic effects of fibre in animal feed products.

To abolish antibiotic consumption in animal feeds by developing novel nano-delivery systems incorporating bioactive lipids and peptides: supporting effective antimicrobial stewardship to reduce antibiotic resistance in the food chain without compromising animal welfare.

The VALSPEC (Valorisation of polymer waste through Spectroscopy) project aims to demonstrate the suitability of Near Infra Red Spectroscopy for monitoring and detecting contaminants in the melt section of the polyethylene recycling process. Current monitoring techniques used in many other recycling techniques, tend to analyse the solid polymer feedstock a...

The project will improve the identification of fish species at processor intake. The project will utilise innovative technology to provide a quick, cost effective and accurate identification method which is practical within a fish processor intake environment. This will enable the presence of adulterants, substitues, or undeclared ingredient to be made qu...
