The ManuREfineryproject was showcased at the national agricultural exhibition Naše Pole 2026, one of the Czech Republic’s leading field events dedicated to agricultural innovation and sustainable farming practices. The event provided an excellent opportunity to present innovative approaches to circular bioeconomy and sustainable nutrient management to farmers, researchers, industry representatives, and other stakeholders.
During the exhibition, visitors learned about the ManuREfinery project’s vision of transforming livestock manure from a waste stream into a valuable resource. The project is developing a smart, modular, and mobile biorefinery system capable of converting manure into high-value bio-based products, including fertiliser ingredients and animal feed components. By applying advanced thermochemical and biochemical processes, the project seeks to improve manure management while reducing environmental impacts associated with livestock production.
Particular attention was given to the project’s contribution to circular agriculture. ManuREfinery promotes the efficient use of nutrients and organic matter, helping farmers reduce waste, lower emissions, and create additional value from agricultural by-products. The project’s decentralised approach is designed to be adaptable to different farm types and regional conditions, supporting the transition towards more sustainable and resilient farming systems.
The presentation generated significant interest among visitors, who engaged in discussions about practical implementation, technological innovation, and future opportunities for nutrient recycling within European agriculture. The event also facilitated networking with stakeholders interested in bio-based solutions and sustainable farming practices.
Through its participation at Naše Pole 2026, the ManuREfinery project increased awareness of innovative manure valorisation technologies and highlighted the important role of circular bioeconomy solutions in addressing environmental and economic challenges facing the agricultural sector.
