Projektbeschreibung
Within the project "Urban Aqua", partners from science and industry are developing an applied concept of the blue bioeconomy. The main aim is to demonstrate a sustainable production of fish and vegetables in an urban environment. This involves the bioconversion of various residual materials and by-products from the pilot plant itself and the surround-ing industries with duckweed, microalgae and insects. One aspect is the use of chicken manure to produce nutrient media for duckweed and microalgae.
