Press Release #1 TransformDairyNet project
TransformDairyNet is a groundbreaking European project designed to revolutionize the dairy industry through CowCalf Contact (CCC) systems. This initiative unites farmers, researchers, NGOs, and industry experts to promote sustainable dairy practices that prioritize animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and economic viability. TransformDairyNet harnesses the expertise of 26 European partners from 14 countries. Together, they will mobilize 11 National Innovation Practice Hubs and a European Knowledge and Innovation Network. This network will comprise dairy farmers, veterinarians, advisors, supply chain actors, farmer organizations, researchers, and policymakers, all collaborating to enhance and scale up CCC dairy production and beyond. TransformDairyNet is a response to the European Union’s Farm to Fork Strategy, reflecting society's demand for sustainable and animal-friendly food production systems. By establishing a European Knowledge and Innovation Network (EKIN), the project will share and develop CCC knowledge across borders, benefiting from the insights and experiences of innovative farmers and animal scientists. If you would like more information or to join the EKIN, please get in touch. The TransformDairyNet project will run for 36 months, until 2027. TransformDairyNet focuses on collaboration, involving farmers, veterinarians, advisors, and researchers. National Network Facilitators (NNFs) will spearhead the formation of National Innovation Practice Hubs (NIPs), where existing and new CCC farmers and industry actors can learn from each other and trial new innovative ideas and practices together. TransformDairyNet not only seeks to transform the dairy sector but also aims to provide a blueprint for upscaling other novel agricultural practices with high societal demand. By addressing the ethical, environmental, and economic dimensions of dairy production, TransformDairyNet strives to make CCC systems the standard for European dairy farming, aligning with broader goals of sustainable farming.

A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System
Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
