Abstract

The Froebel Department, Maynooth University is a partner in the AgroCycle Project. The AgroCycle Project is a ca. €8 million (ca. €7 million from the European Commission, ca. €1 million from the Government of The People’s Republic of China) Horizon 2020 research and innovation project addressing the recycling and valorisation of waste from the agri-food sector. The project takes a holistic approach to understanding and addressing how to make best use of the full range of waste streams associated with the agri-food industry. It is delivering the AgroCycle Protocol, a blueprint for achieving sustainable agri-food waste valorisation. The resultant AgroCycle Protocol will deliver sustainable waste valorisation pathways addressing the European policy target of reducing food waste by 50% by 2030, as well contributing to the wave of change that is occurring in China in relation to sustainability. This corresponds with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This is a video created by Dr Nic an Bhaird and Dr Ní Chléirigh for primary school children. It explains the complex scientific concepts of the circular economy in language suitable for the primary classroom. This video won the The European Think BioBased Challange in 2019 as part of the AgroCycle Kids education package.
