📢Brainwaves has come to an end! Diolch, go raibh maith agaibh & thank you to all involved!
The project pioneered a #CicularEconomy model in farming which uses waste water to grow protein-rich animal feed while at the same time cleaning the water.🌱#EUIrelandWales#duckfeed
📢As our #EUIrelandWales funding is coming to an end soon, we have been busy making a video📹of our exciting journey cultivating duckweed from ‘lab to farm’. We look forward to sharing the video soon. Watch this space! @wefowales#DuckFeedProject#CircularEconomy
Great interest in the tour of the duckweed facilities at the stakeholder workshop on Monday. Thank you to all travelling to attend, and for all the great questions asked!

Great day spent with local dairy farmers at our informal stakeholder engagement event @UCCBEES 👏 to all who attended & to those who gave 👍 presentations. Fantastic interest in developing & integrating #duckweed cultivation in Irish farming 🚜#EUIrelandWales#DuckFeedProject
@ellamcsweeney did you know #duckweed can be grown on farm waste water, cleaning the water before it enters our rivers, while also retaining nitrogen and phosphorous from which protein-rich animal feed can be produced. https://t.co/NBgSxbFybf

I wrote a bit about Ireland’s iconic Three Sister Rivers - the Nore, the Suir and the Barrow. They are all struggling with water pollution.
