Abstract

Expected results : Improve processes aimed at environmental protection, climate change adaptation, and mitigation by creating added value and disseminating the benefits of consuming wild game meat to the end consumer. Bridge the gap between the supply of natural products and the demand of traditional and new consumers by creating links between forest products, the rural community, and consumers in large cities. Implement a technological information tool that allows consumers to be informed about the natural and environmentally friendly origin of game meat, especially certified and accredited game meat, its provenance, and its sustainability. Increase the consumption and marketing of game meat in Andalusia, promoting the economic development of the rural community, the industry, and sales channels. Promote environmental certification in extensive systems to provide added value to meat products from free-range animals.

Objectives

The innovative project Microalgae and Circular Economy for Improving Agricultural Productivity (MECA) aims to develop a system that allows microalgae cultivation to be used in agronomy as a tool to solve environmental, nutritional, and biostimulant problems in crops. The MECA project will reuse wastewater from a brewery for microalgae production. The resulting microalgae will, in turn, be applied through irrigation as nutrients and biostimulants to crops in surrounding plantations.
