Nature conservation 4

Description:
Four study regions in Flanders (Ax.1b) demonstrate how maintenance residues fromnature reserves can be used. It is shown how they can be combined with residues fromagriculture and horticulture, and how valorisation can take place under involvement ofnearby stakeholders. Different conditioning and processing methods (mulching,composting, fermentation, anaerobic digestion) are demonstrated. The fourshowcases refer to the most interested and suitable farmers of the region. Eachshowcase looks at a different technology or mixture of substrates to demonstrate itsfeasibility and integratability of maintenance residues into farms. Policy advice isgiven to stimulate a reassessment of regulations that inhibit bioresource use. Regional partners (VLACO, NP, PCS, PSKW) cooperate with farmers that provide andprocess bioresources. EV-ILVO advises. Transregional partners (SMEETS, INRAE, AU,EBL, GBB, TUHH, UHH, NBF) contribute with expertise and experiences and theysupport transfer.
