What is it?

The European Institute of Innovation and Technology tries to bridge the gap between promising innovations and successful businesses. It consists of nine sectoral subdivisions, with EIT Food being particularly important for the Belgian market, as its headquarters are based in Leuven. To help these high-potential companies reach out to new horizons, the EIT food has launched a Fast Track to Market call. The deadline for the call is the 6th of May 2025.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
