Projects exploring innovative approaches to alternative raw materials, improving resource efficiency, addressing technical challenges and developing new feed production chains.
3. Harnessing Animal Production Chains
Projects supporting feed technology development, training, practical implementation and the upgrading of animal feed production in eligible developing-country contexts.
Funding available
The foundation offers:
- Up to €50,000 for one-year projects.
