Extending the cow's life span as a climate strategy
Extending the cow's life span as a climate strategy
Extending the life span of dairy cattle is good for the farmer and the climate. The cows yield better in terms of milk production and efficiency.
The second Coordination and Support Action for the JPI Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life
The Joint Programming Initiative ‘A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life’ (JPI HDHL) is an European network initiative between 20 MS, 3 associated EU countries and 3 third countries outside Europe that focuses on common scientific research and networking concerning the influence of food on public health.

Improving the life production of dairy cattle by optimizing the nutrition and management of youngstock in Flanders
At the end of this project more dairy farmers will actively monitor the rearing of their heifers (measuring/weighing), more heifers will calve at the optimal age of 24 months and they will enjoy a healthier and longer life, thus achieving better lifelong production.Research approachThe approach in this project is a combination of research and practice

Processing food losses via the social economy
On the other hand, the niche companies in Flanders have many options (both technical and in terms of personnel) to convert these food losses into longer shelf-life food products.Research approachWithin the ZERO WASTE ATELIER project, a circular and social hub will be set up to make better use of food losses that arise among farmers and processors.

Short chain
Shelf life and nutritional value can be measured (for labeling) in the labs, and the taste evaluation can be checked via the consumer sensory testing panel. A few Food Pilot success stories: Kortenboshoeve is a dairy farm with a farm store and its own artisanal production of cheese, butter, buttermilk, rice pudding, yogurt, and ice cream.
