The main objective of this project is to conduct industrial research on advanced biotechnological processes for the valorization of biowaste from the dairy industry, using biorefinery technologies through insects and fermentations, employing sustainable and low environmental impact technologies, to generate sustainable raw materials suitable for the development of new fertilizers and advanced biostimulants to improve pasture quality, and consequently, milk quality and animal health, reducing the use of agrochemicals.

The scientific and technical objectives achieved with the development of this project are as follows:

• Physicochemical characterization of the waste, in order to understand the composition of such waste and determine the most suitable valorization procedures.
• Pre-treatment, conditioning, and fractionation of the waste for its valorization.
• Production of biofertilizing and biostimulant microorganisms (PGPR) from the biowaste.
• Definition of the biotreatment process of biowaste using insects.
• Techno-economic analysis and validation of the obtained biofertilizer and biostimulant inputs.
