Boosting circularity and diversification strategies of terrestrial livestock production systems
Funds research validating tools and business models that let livestock farms diversify products and close resource loops for extra income and lower waste.
This is a single-stage Research and Innovation Action, funded from an indicative topic budget of EUR 12,000,000 that the Commission expects to split into two grants of EUR 6,000,000 each, paid as a fixed lump sum rather than reimbursed actual costs. Applicants submit the standard Research and Innovation Actions form through the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, choosing to address either the wool value…
This call wants proposals that develop and validate strategies and monitoring tools to diversify livestock products and close nutrient loops across animals, by-products and land use. It wants analysis of the social and economic viability of these diversified, circular systems, plus tailored support to help farmers organise into cooperatives or networks to improve market access and bargaining power.
