Summary

The project contributes to the mission of circular agriculture by reusing the organic side and residuals flow from avocado processing into animal feed. This project anticipates a transformative impact on multiple levels towards a more sustainable and circular agri-food chain. This project is application-focused, aiming to adapt existing knowledge and innovations to create a sustainable business opportunity and foster international cooperation. Introducing a new demand for an agri-food residual as a waste management tool while addressing the growing demand for nutritious ingredients for animal feed co-creates new opportunities for Dutch and local companies.
