How AI describes Horti-Blue

Horti-BlueC is an Interreg 2 Seas project that aims to solve bottlenecks and develop solutions for more sustainable growing media in horticulture and for upcycling byproducts from current practices. It envisions a greenhouse concept that reduces fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions and lowers chemical inputs by replacing non-renewable feedstock materials like peat or stone wool with locally produced renewable materials, including building blocks such as biochar, chitin, and compost. Its outputs include new growing media blends for tomato and strawberry, feasibility studies of waste valorisation chains, and practical tools and publications delivered through an online platform, a decision tool, and a mapping tool.
