The demonstration project is based in Germany / Lower-Saxony. Gräflich Bernstorffsche Betriebe (GBB) will supervise a demonstration project together with Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). Drawing also on the expertise of other partners. The showcase is based on the GBB areas of organic farming, pasture management and sustainable forestry. The aim is to further develop internal operations and cycles. One of the main aspects is the farm's own composting system with rotating windrows to prevent nitrate leaching. In addition, the use of the farm's own microplastic-free substrates as a co-substrate for its own cattle manure is being investigated. The focus here is on clippings from landscape conservation areas. Other topics include the effective continuation of the biogas plant with new substrates and the applicability of compost tea for soil improvement. The farm demonstrates a sustainable approach considering economy and ecology.
