“The two seminars aim to discuss the importance of transferring technology and scientific knowledge between R&D institutions and different audiences in the region, with a focus on the livestock production, agroforestry and agri-food sectors. The webinar addresses the topic of the circular economy, with “the use of by-products and industrial waste as raw materials for the production of biofuels.” “, explains CEBAL’s press release.
Friday’s seminar – “Promoting the Use of Agro-Industrial Co-Products in Animal Feed” – begins at 2pm, at the Southern Farmers Association (ACOS), in Beja. “The session will focus on transferring knowledge on the use of surplus raw materials from agro-industrial processes (co-products) in animal feed, and sharing the results of research activities as well as experiences from companies that already apply agro-industrial co-products in their production practices,” the organization’s document said.
This session takes place within the scope of the conference session – “Industrial Agricultural Products and Animal Feeds – for Circular Animal Production”, which is also said to be developed in person after two years of sessions in an online format.
