NovelBaltic

The Baltic sea areas are full of NTFP. Several of these products are seen as very valuable, among others, in the Asian market. But close relationships with the cultivated species as well as misleading marketing of origin leads to risk of scams. In order to preserve food security and the quality stamp of the raw material, manufacturers and processors have a need for simple authentication methods to ensure genuine goods.

Biodegradable mulch film from rest raw materials.

In agricultural production of vegetables there is a challenge of competition between food plants and weeds. Use of herbicides has been the most actual treatment against weeds, but is now on its way out, due to environmental concerns. The idea of a spray-able biodegradable mulch film is that it should be possible to spray the mulch close to the plants at planting or after planting to make a physical barrier against weeds.
