On 6 and 7 July, the partners of B-FERST, a project financed by Bio Based Industries Join Undertaking (now CBE JU) under the Horizon 2020 program, met in Caserta to discuss developments in project activities and define the following actions to be undertaken.
Novamont, as a partner, on 6 July welcomed the delegation to the Research Center of Piana di Monte Verna, where the participants had the opportunity to visit the R&D laboratories specialised in the development of industrial biotechnologies and learn more about how these fit into the Novamont circular bioeconomy model.
The B-FERST project aims at integrating the valorisation of bio-waste in agriculture by creating new circular and bio-based value chains. The project improves the sustainability of arable land by developing 8 innovative bio-based fertilisers. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the relationships between farmers and bio-based industries.
On 7 July, in collaboration with Coldiretti Campania, B-FERST organised a workshop in the Municipality of Pietramelara. It brought together farmers, trade associations and sector experts to discuss products and solutions for agriculture and how these can encourage projects for the local area.
The workshop also saw the participation of Michele Falce – Mater-Agro Director & Head of the Novamont Production & Agricultural Services Area – who described the sustainable agriculture model pursued by Novamont.
