ONE EARTH envisions an “earth-to-marine-to-earth virtuous cycle,” where terrestrial and marine biomass value chains are fully interconnected. In this model, outputs from land-based activities feed into marine…
Aquaculture is expanding rapidly as global demand for seafood grows, but it faces a major challenge: feed. Traditionally, farmed fish such as salmon rely on fishmeal and fish oil sourced from wild-caught fish, a practice that puts pressure on ocean…
ONE EARTH is exploring the production of bio adhesives, glues made from biological waste, as eco-friendly alternatives to petrochemical-based adhesives. Dairy by-products offer a promising example: researchers have created water-resistant…
Agrokomplex in Nitra celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, confirming its status as the largest agricultural event in Slovakia. From 3–7 September 2025, more than 92,000 visitors explored the exhibition grounds, including…
Europe’s poultry industry generates around 3.6 million tonnes of feathers each year as a by-product of slaughterhouses. Currently, only about 25% of these feathers are reused, mainly in low-value applications like animal feed or…
The fisheries and aquaculture sector generates millions of tonnes of by-products each year, including skin, scales, and bones, many of which go underutilised. Globally, up to two-thirds of caught fish (by weight) is discarded as waste, posing both…
The ONE EARTH project demonstrates an innovative climate-friendly solution: using CO₂-rich gases from fermentation as an input for microalgae cultivation. Instead of releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the CO₂…
Cheese whey, by-product of cheese making, is one of the largest waste streams in the dairy industry. In 2022, the EU produced over 55 million tons of whey. Rather than posing an environmental challenge, this lactose-rich effluent can be transformed into…
The ONE EARTH project is closely aligned with European Union strategies such as the European Green Deal and the Bioeconomy Strategy, which aim to decouple economic growth from resource use and foster a circular economy. The EU defines the bioeconomy…
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and a key component of fertilizers used in agriculture…
