ADVAGROMED

ADVanced AGROecological approaches based on the integration of insect farming with local field practices in MEDiterranean countries

ADVAGROMED applies the Circular Economy (CE) / zero waste principle developing a sustainable and innovative farming system in the Mediterranean Area. ADVAGROMED uses by-products/organic waste of local agricultural productions for rearing insects delivering different products: insect frass to be used as fertiliser to improve farm soils, to enhance soil quality, microbial biodiversity, and to deliver an antimicrobial effect (decreasing the use of inorganic fertilisers and pesticides), live larvae to feed local poultry breeds ensuring good animal performances, health and product quality (decreasing the use of imported feeds).
