During the meeting, experts and participants actively discussed and exchanged views. The main topic of discussions was the most efficient way to grow chlorella – in a tubular photobioreactor or some other. Proposals on cultivation of unicellular algae that both cost-effective and science-based were presented.
Next week, the cultivation of soya beans, one of the oldest agricultural crops, will be discussed. It is widely used in the agriculture; it is a good source of protein in mixed fodder. The soya beans are used in poultry and livestock sector as well as in the production of other foods.
