- increase plant availability or other sustainable uses/commercialization of manure nutrients (separation, drying, pelletizing or other technologies for pretreatment, storage and field application of manure etc.) and/or
- increase the energy output of manure (biogas, fiber incineration, gasification etc.)
A call for award closes at October 11th. The winner will be announced in the Baltic Compass & Baltic Deal & Baltic Manure joint conference “A greener agriculture for a bluer Baltic Sea” 2nd of November, 2011.
