🌱Did you know that not all land is equally suitable for food production? #RUNFASTER4EU focuses on rapeseed, safflower and cardoon, low-ILUC-risk oil crops that can be cultivated on marginal lands without competing with food or feed production. 🔗shorturl.at/7RFi7 #CBEJU

♻️#RUNFASTER4EU will demonstrate a full cascading biomass valorisation approach. This means using all parts of a crop, such as oils, proteins, fibres & residues, across multiple applications, maximising value and minimising waste. 🔗 Learn more: shorturl.at/7RFi7 #CBEJU
