What a year! The BBTWINS team is thrilled to share our annual 'year in review' video summarising all the breakthroughs of Year 2 of the project. Highlights include
multiple in-person collaborations across Spain among partners, developing more advanced methods of traceability, successful testing of waste stream technologies,
and the uploading of vast amounts of bio-based information to create the data lake.

CluBE takes the Agrotica Expo by Storm
|
|
|
The first week of February the team at our partner CluBE manned a booth at the Agrotica Expo in Thessaloniki, Greece. One of the largest agro-economic
sectoral exhibitions on the continent, it operates at the intersection between agricultural industry and the rural economy. Partners reported back that it was a great experience and
opportunity to talk about projects like BBTWINS. Follow the link below to keep up with CluBE as they create synergies across the bioeconomy.

LCA Milestone Reached
|
|
|
At the end of the 27th month of the BBTWINS journey, our partner ANGAZ updates us about the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA):
- For peach cultivation, the LCA results have identified major environmental impacts stemming from
the consumption of inputs such as fertilizers, water, and diesel. To mitigate these impacts, the project recommends improving fertilization practices, enhancing water use efficiency, and switching to low-emission
fuels for agricultural machinery.
- Pork production, on the other hand, faces environmental challenges related to animal feed
production, electricity consumption, land use for feed crop cultivation, and methane emissions from waste. Mitigation strategies include the substitution of high-impact feed ingredients with more sustainable
alternatives, energy production from waste-generated methane, and effective waste management practices.
Increased demand for peaches and pork along with rising prices and potential export opportunities are possible benefits for farmers in this case. Valuable insight from our partners dedicated to a
holistic approach.
