About GO-GRASS

GO-GRASS is committed to transform the untapped potential of European grassland, making it usable, reducing imports of nutrients and dependence on fossil fuels and finding ways to provide the resulting benefits to strengthen rural communities. GO-GRASS partners will test a wide range of solutions in four promising regional demonstration sites located in The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. The project, financed by the European Commission, runs from 2019 until 2023.

​

Objectives:

• Develop cost-effective and sustainable circular business models

• Diversify and revitalise rural economies and provide quality jobs and opportunities

• The production of bio-based products replacing existing fossil-based alternatives, such as fertilisers or plastic-packaging

• Large-scale replication especially in remote communities with unexploited resources
