As interest in sustainable solutions grows, so does the global duckweed research community. Written by University College Cork, this post explores how the International Steering Committee on Duckweed Research and Applications (ISCDRA) connects researchers, industry, and innovation.
As global demand for food grows, so does our reliance on nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers, increasingly unsustainable resources. Written by University College Cork, this blog explores how duckweed, a fast-growing aquatic plant, offers a nature-based solution to recover valuable nutrients from wastewater. Through the IMPRESS project, researchers are turning waste into a resource and closing the loop in nutrient management.
Duckweed, a fast-growing aquatic plant, offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for wastewater purification. Discover how this natural filter could transform wastewater management.
In "Duckweed: Nature’s Green Helper (Part 2)", we dive deeper into the benefits of this tiny aquatic plant. From enhancing water quality and stabilising aquatic ecosystems to its potential in biofuel production and sustainable food sources, duckweed is emerging as a key player in environmental conservation.
Innovation is key to securing a sustainable global food system. Clusaga’s 'Products and Business Stakeholders Report', developed within the IMPRESS project, explores the potential of low-trophic species (LTS) from marine and freshwater ecosystems, providing valuable insights into how LTS can contribute to sustainable food sources and value chains.
According to the findings of The EU Fish Market – 2024 Report (European Commission: Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries)(1), fish consumption in the EU has been on a decline since 2021, even in traditionally high fish-consuming countries. On the other hand, some landlocked countries with historically low fish consumption have recorded a gradual increase. […]
