Meat Processing and Insect Cultivation Industries, Denmark

Challenges:

There is a need to assess the potential of processing solutions for mixed food industry residue streams (dairy, slaughterhouse, agricultural, vegetable and fruit processing industries) to recycle nutrients and produce safe and tailored soil improvers.

Solutions:

Value chain actors will be brought together to develop and test the effect of soil improvers (insect frass, digestates, compost and meat and bone meal) and their post-treatment processes (separation, mixing, pelletizing) on soil health indicators and fertilizing value.

Outcomes:

Novel soil improvers from different residues with tested effects on soil health in pot and field trials. Recommendations on mixing different soil improvers to optimise soil improvement and fertilising effect of the novel products.

Replicability:

These results can be used in other value chains in Denmark but also in other EU regions.

Living Labs Meat Processing and Insect Cultivation Denmark

Regional Working Group (RWG)

Overview:

Denmark’s RWG covers the whole country. With more than 60% of the land used for farming and plenty of by-products available, Denmark is an ideal place to develop new soil amendments from recycled materials. The group brings together researchers, farmers, businesses and community organisations at national level so that ideas and experiences can be shared across regions. This teamwork helps reduce waste, recycle nutrients, improve soil health and speed up Denmark’s move towards a more sustainable food system. The group’s main focus is to study how recycled products affect soil health and to make sure their use does not harm the environment or cause soil contamination.
