HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-CIRCBIO-07 – Circular dairy farm expansion and better use of biomass and by-products

We are a family-run dairy farm in northern Albania, currently producing approximately 550 litres of raw milk per day. Our goal is to expand the herd, increase milk production and modernise the farm step by step.

In the future, we plan to build our own dairy-processing facility for bottled milk, yoghurt and cheese. As the farm grows, we are also interested in using manure, agricultural biomass and future dairy-processing by-products more efficiently.

Under HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-CIRCBIO-07, we are interested in joining a consortium as a partner and potential pilot or demonstration site for practical solutions that improve biomass flows and support a more circular dairy business.

Relevant areas for us include better use of manure and organic residues, valorisation of future whey and dairy by-products, improved handling of agricultural biomass, resource recovery and practical circular solutions that can be integrated into a growing dairy farm and processing operation.

We are looking for experienced Horizon Europe coordinators, research organisations, universities and technology providers that are developing practical circular bioeconomy solutions and need a real agricultural environment for implementation, demonstration or validation.

Our contribution would be a real operating dairy farm, practical knowledge of farm needs and the possibility to integrate suitable solutions as we expand production and develop our future milk-processing facility.
