NUTRIFEEDS develops regenerative livestock feed solutions, transforming underutilized local plants and agri-food side-streams into high-protein feed ingredients through insect upcycling, targeted fermentation, and AI-supported decision tools.
The project aims to improve animal health and welfare, soil quality, and farm resilience, while promoting circularity and reducing Europe’s dependency on imported protein.
Sustainable, local feed is key to achieving the goals of the EU Farm to Fork Strategy and the European Green Deal.
NUTRIFEEDS explores how black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) can convert low-value agri-food side-streams — such as fruit residues or grain by-products — into high-quality protein ingredients for livestock feed.
This pilot demonstrates how insect upcycling can reduce waste, close nutrient loops, and create a local, circular alternative to imported soy and fishmeal.
Through advanced fermentation techniques, NUTRIFEEDS increases the nutritional value and digestibility of plant-based feed ingredients.
By reducing antinutritional factors and enriching protein bioavailability, this pilot supports the development of balanced, regenerative feed formulations that improve animal performance and welfare.
Targeted fermentation helps unlock the full nutritional potential of feed ingredients. Many plant-based materials and agri-food side-streams contain valuable proteins, fibres, vitamins, and minerals, yet
Silvopasture is gaining increasing attention across Europe as farmers, researchers, and policymakers search for more sustainable ways to produce food while protecting natural ecosystems. The
The global food system faces significant environmental challenges, and the livestock sector plays a major role in this reality. According to recent estimates, livestock production
