Syneco – Recovering value from pig and cow slurry to promote environmental synergies

SYNECO is establishing good practices for manure management and fertilisation in Malta, benefitting rural societies that can use their own resources for fertilisation rather than importing expensive chemical fertilisers, thereby improving competitiveness of crop production in Malta.

SYNECO works for improving the environment, including reducing impacts on air and water, improving soil quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The project also trains farmers to use a smart app for managing their farms with respect to fertilisation and crop production and includes their knowledge on the soils of their fields using AI-interpreted satellite data. Furthermore, SYNECO employs innovative technologies to process livestock slurry into useable products rather than continuing to treat this slurry at the urban wastewater treatment facilities (UWWTP) in a costly and completely unacceptable process. The project prioritises gender equality and employment of young people, whenever possible.
