Context

The actions of the project will contribute to the target areas indicated in the Lithuanian rural development program: Promotion of innovations in rural areas, strengthening of agriculture, food production and scientific research relations, improvement of economic performance of farms, increase of competitiveness of primary production producers.

Additional comments

During the project, a unique model of closed-loop bioactive substances in the farm will be created, which enables everything collected during harvesting (from the berry to the twig and their secondary raw materials) to be used for the production of high added value products. In this way, the small farm-business will absorb sustainable technologies, such as solid-phase fermentation, aqueous, alcoholic extraction, bioconcentration, technologies that, through the created value-added products, enable the return of biologically valuable substances to favor human, animal and earth health. The created, experimentally and practically tested model of closed cycle bioactive substances in the farm will be validated by the developed energy life cycle methodology, and product safety will be ensured by the risk management (HACCP) methodology
