The EU REALM project brings greenhouse farmers and microalgae producers together.

Farmers of soilless cultivation need high-quality water to irrigate plants. They add nitrogen and other nutrients to the irrigation water so plants grow quick and healthy. The water that is not used by the plants runs off and is collected in drain water basins or tanks. Instead of discharging this nutrient rich water, Microalgae can be grown cost-effectively in the drain water from soilless cultivation, saving money and valuable resources.
