Synergetic Benefits for a Pig Farm and Local Bioeconomy Development from Extended Green Biorefinery Value Chains

As the global population rises, agriculture and industry are under increasing pressure to become more sustainable in meeting this growing demand, while minimizing impacts on emissions, land use change, biodiversity. The development of efficient symbiotic local bioeconomies can help respond challenge by using land, resources, side streams ways tailored needs different regions. Green biorefineries offer a unique opportunity for regions with abundant grasslands primary resource sustainably, providing feed cows, also generating monogastric animals, along co-production biomaterials energy. current study investigates impact green biorefinery co-product, leaf protein concentrate (LPC), input pig farm, assessing its diets, extended bioenergy performance farm. found that LPC replaced soya bean meal at 50% displacement rate, pigs showing positive intake weight gain. Based laboratory analysis, resulting slurry demonstrated higher biogas content 26% biomethane potential compared control slurry. findings demonstrate some synergies between agricultural sectors be achieved through development, benefits bioeconomy actors.
