Cluster 6 Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment

The Rural BioReFarmeries project, funded by Horizon Europe, aims to boost Ireland’s rural economy and bioeconomy by extracting more value from grassland. It transforms grass into bio-based products like protein, flavourings, antimicrobial additives, packaging, and fertilises, while still supplying livestock feed. Residues from production can be used to generate renewable energy, delivering both economic and environmental benefits.
