Workshop - Beets for Biogas

Event Attend the workshop on 23 November and gain further knowledge about beets in biogas production.

New types of lettuce will ensure competitive advantages

Project In a new project, AgroTech is performing screening and cultivation experiments in order to develop new types of lettuce for Yding Grønt's product line. The objective is to capture marketshare both in Denmark as well as in the company's export markets.

Danish dairy cows among the world's elite in feed efficiency

Project The Danish Agriculture and Food Council's Cattle Division has decided that Danish dairy cows should utilise their fodder five percent more efficiently in the future. This will ensure that Danish cows will continue to be among the best in the world in converting their fodder to milk and meat.

Should bioplastic be biodegradable?

In our opinion Maybe the Danish mentality means that biodegradable plastic is not the best solution for the environment after all.

New report: Best available technologies for pig manure biogas plants

Story Leaching of nitrogen and phosphorus from intensive pig production can be reduced if the large quantities of manure are used for biogas production and if the digestate is spread in springtime when the crops grow and utilize the natural fertilizer efficiently. According to a new report from Baltic Sea 2020, the right setup of technologies for biogas production and proper treatment of the digestate can benefit both water quality and climate.

Agrotech investigating potential of microalgae

Project Danish agriculture is facing substantial challenges in the global competition for future food products markets. These are challenges that must be met with innovation and the development of new forms of quality food products, combining the valued characteristics of traditional food products with new crops and production methods. Algae are one such possible new crop for agriculture in the future.

Sustainable dining

Project This project establishes actions to back up the words calling for a reduction in the amount of food we waste. This concerns the development of sustainable, healthy and user-specific concepts for cafeterias, festivals, amusement parks, hotels, conference centres and restaurants.

Laboratory for Plant Innovation

Project This research and development project is creating an entirely new platform, featuring the involvement of leading international scientists and facilitating an easier transformation of knowledge into actual innovative business solutions.

Innovative plants

Project This innovation consortium aims to develop and strengthen the agricultural and horticultural industry in Denmark. This should be done by developing techniques for breeding and development of a wide variety of plants and plant products.

Bio-based plastics and natural fibers for multiple applications

Project Agriculture provides the industry with numerous biomass-resources for multiple applications such as packaging, car composites, insulation, building materials and lots of other products. Bio-materials and bio-plastics become more and more a part of a sustainable solution in the industry.
