A team of EU-funded scientists has developed novel biodegradable containers for the organic beauty market.

EU-funded researchers have investigated how life-cycle assessment (LCA) could help improve the sustainability performance of biochemical production.

Scientists have monitored the impact of an olive tree killer bacterium in Italy using satellite data. The research will help prevent future spread and damage.

An EU initiative has successfully tested the usability of miscanthus for biofuel production. The technology used could help realise the full potential of this promising energy crop.

Researchers and industry experts have conducted trials with wood-derived protein in feeding fish. The technology will help secure aquaculture growth.

Scientists have developed a new method for producing a compound to replace polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in food and beverage packaging.

One year ago, the DIVERSIFY project left important guidance to the aquaculture industry, with the promise of greater competitiveness and diversification of its production. What has the consortium been up to since then? Did the project results enable the commercialisation of new fish products? CORDIS investigated.
