Innovative Crop Rotation for Grass Production in Denmark

This Nature-Based Solution in Northern Jutland, Denmark, reduces nitrogen leaching and enhances biodiversity by implementing perennial grass-based crop rotations and integrated biorefineries. Funded by the EU-China programme, the four-year trans4num project promotes local protein production to replace imported soy, supports carbon sequestration, and develops nutrient loops. Remote sensing and machine learning monitor agricultural systems, while stakeholder engagement advances regulatory alignment with the EU Water Framework Directive. Outcomes include improved farmer perception, sustainable economic models, and reduced environmental impact.
