Sustainable solutions to agricultural waste streams, which can benefit others.

Agricultural waste can be costly and difficult to get rid of. In France, 60 million tons of agricultural and food waste go un-recycled every year. New technologies are however providing solutions. There are now accessible ways to transform by-products from agricultural production into an energy source, turning a problem into a resource. Green Research is a research laboratory and SME based in Normandy, France, which specialises in the transformation of green waste into energy. They have been working with a local community and the Chamber of Agriculture on a pilot project to recycle horse manure. The project is not only finding solutions for farmers, but it is creating new local energy sources, putting old industrial buildings to good use and creating jobs.
