Quel était le défi/problème abordé?

Fertilizers used in agriculture in our time are becoming more and more expensive. Bio-based fertilisers are also becoming more expensive and more difficult to access on the market. For this reason, alternatives are being sought locally. One of the alternatives is sapropel, which is relatively easily available in our country.

Comment as-tu résolu le problème?

The project aim is to study and develop of energy effective and economically justified sapropel production (dehydration) technologies in Latvia’s conditions, and to assess application suitability of sapropel, as a biologically active additive and soil fertilization product, in agriculture. To achieve the project aims, the following activities are planned: Development of sapropel dehydration method; The studying of sapropel as a biological fertilizer and soil substrate product; The studying of sapropel as a biologically active feed additive in animal production. The project theme is focusing on the study of the use of a completely new technology in sapropel production (dehydration) in Latvia’s conditions, and the use of the new sapropel product in such an important sector of the national economy as agriculture, in the sector of primary production that will further be offered for the use in industrial production

Ce qui est innovant dans votre cas pratique?

Development of sapropel dehydration method is the innovation in this project. As well there are still ongoing studying of sapropel as a organic active feed additive in animal production.

Quels sont les facteurs de succès pour résoudre le problème?

la communication, knowledge transfer, mutual cooperation between all parties involved.

Échecs inattendus, si seulement

Still ongoing process to see how project will adapt in practice

Leçons apprises

Projects of this type are voluminous and involve a lot of information. Sometimes the implementation and implementation of such projects in practice takes longer

Quel rôle joue le conseiller ou le service de conseil dans le cas pratique

The advisor partook in frequent communication with clients through office consultations, on-farm visits, phone calls, as well as partaking in presentations and training events. Transfert de connaissances.

Votre approche peut-elle être transférée et/ou adaptée à d'autres défis d'innovation et régions?

Oui.
