📢Brainwaves has come to an end! Diolch, go raibh maith agaibh & thank you to all involved!
The project pioneered a #CicularEconomy model in farming which uses waste water to grow protein-rich animal feed while at the same time cleaning the water.🌱 #EUIrelandWales #duckfeed

Irish company, Emerald have developed a process for extracting protein from #duckweed for use in aquaculture and animal feed. #circulareconomy
