More than 20 cross-border innovation projects were carried out from 2018 to 2022 under the umbrella of the second phase of the INTERREG project FOOD2020. GIQS has now produced a brochure on the results of the cooperation project, presenting the wide range of funded initiatives on more than 100 pages.
The German-Dutch cooperation project FOOD2020 – Zukunftsoffensive Lebensmittelwirtschaft – is being completed after a successful project period. Within the four-year term, 21 innovation projects and seven think tanks from the agricultural and food industry were supported with a funding budget of more than 4.5 million euros
Im Rahmen des deutsch-niederländischen INTERREG-Projekts BEL AIR wurden Lösungen für saubere und gesunde Luft bei Geflügelmastbetrieben getestet und entwickelt, um gesundheitlichen Gefahren durch Feinstaub- und Endotoxin-Emissionen vorzubeugen.
As part of the German-Dutch INTERREG project BEL AIR, which develops solutions for clean and healthy air in poultry farms, numerous sampling and air measurements were carried out by the eleven project partners.
In the framework of the German-Dutch INTERREG project BEL AIR, solutions for clean and healthy air at poultry farms are tested and developed to prevent health risks caused by fine dust and endotoxin emissions.
The Dutch company Smart Material Printing (SMP) of founder, inventor and GIQS member Dr Gregor Luthe has developed a method of processing fruit and vegetables in such a way that fewer allergic reactions occur when they are touched or consumed.
Within the BEL AIR project, a dust sensor was adapted and further developed, which can now continuously measure the fine dust concentration in the barn without any maintenance effort - an important success for the German-Dutch cooperation project.
In the BEL AIR project, a cloud was set up into which all data measured in the project flow. The results of the measurements and sampling are visualised in a BEL AIR dashboard developed by Whysor.
For many years, the LAL test was the common method for analysing entotoxin samples. Within BEL AIR, however, a gentler, more sustainable and clearer analysis method has now been established with the rFC test.
An application for an extension of the INTERREG V A project BEL AIR was successful. The German-Dutch cooperation project led by GIQS e.V. had applied for funds available from the INTERREG programme in spring 2021.
