NewFeed’s Innovations Highlighted in Recent ERT3 Interview
In a recent interview on the Greek tv channel ERT3, Dr. Eleni Kasapidou, a member of the UOWM team, shed light on the project’s groundbreaking initiatives. The conversation delved into several key aspects, offering insights into the NEWFEED’s objectives and achievements.
One of the central topics discussed was the utilization of orange peels, a by-product of juice production, to create enhanced animal feed. Dr. Eleni Kasapidou emphasized how NewFeed leverages these peels to develop nutrient-rich feed additives, thereby addressing both environmental concerns and the need for sustainable agricultural practices.
Furthermore, the interview highlighted the collaborative nature of the project, involving partners from 4 Mediterranean countries, Greece, Egypt, Spain, and Turkey. Through joint efforts and shared expertise, NewFeed aims to revolutionize animal nutrition and promote circular economy principles across the region.
Dr. Eleni Kasapidou also provided insights into the research and development process, outlining the program’s methodology and initial findings. Results from studies conducted at the ELGO Dimitra Institute in Giannitsa in collaboration to UOWM, demonstrate the nutritional equivalence of feed derived from orange peels compared to traditional alternatives, underscoring the program’s efficacy and potential impact.
Overall, the interview underscored NewFeed’s role as a pioneering initiative in sustainable agriculture. By repurposing agricultural by-products and fostering cross-border collaboration, the project not only addresses waste management challenges but also contributes to the development of innovative solutions for the agri-food industry.
NewFeed’s commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency aligns with broader efforts to build a more resilient and environmentally conscious food system. Through continued research and strategic partnerships, the project aims to drive positive change and create lasting value for both farmers and consumers alike.
