Mixed Food Processing, Spain

Spain’s RWG works across the whole country to capture the diversity of its farming and food industries. Research centres in Catalonia, Castile and León and other regions join with public bodies, co-operatives, farmers and community organisations to find better ways of reusing by-products and reducing waste. By pooling expertise from across Spain, the group creates a unique platform for testing new soil improvers and fertilisers and for linking local projects with national strategies. This broad reach helps Spain’s RWG drive innovation at many levels, from small pilot actions to country-wide initiatives.
