However, mowing is essential for the health of these meadows. The LIFE UpcyclingGrass project aims to find innovative solutions for utilizing this cut grass by creating added value and ensuring the sustainable management of natural grasslands. Drawing on global and European experiences and consulting with various manufacturers, we propose processing the biomass into diverse products. This project will lay the groundwork for producing valuable products from natural grass biomass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project duration: September 1, 2023 \u2013 August 31, 2028<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/upcyclinggrass.ldf.lv\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To Project Page<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":516,"template":"","project-category":[],"class_list":["post-1271","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>LIFE UpcyclingGrass - Latvijas Dabas fonds<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ldf.lv\/en\/projects\/life-upcyclinggrass\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LIFE UpcyclingGrass - Latvijas Dabas fonds\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Latvia&#8217;s many natural grasslands often produce surplus cut grass, a valuable biomass that frequently goes unused, either because it\u2019s unsuitable for fodder or due to excess availability in certain years.
