Duckweed pilot facility
Last week we attended European Duckweed Network Workshop "From pond to plate-advancing water lentils as novel food" in Ghent,Belgium. Presentations, posters and a field trip to a pilot facility made for a very interesting #duckweed day. #DuckFeedProject

Two people stand alongside a poster presenting their work on the evaluation of ultrasound-assisted extraction techniques for duckweed protein.
Flashback: Last June the #DuckFeedProject was represented at Ultrasonics2025 by some of our students, presenting the work on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of #duckweed protein extraction.

Medium-scale duckweed growth facilities. Two rectangular white and blue pool liners under a polytunnel cover are filled with a layer of floating duckweed plants. On the left a sieve is leaning on the edge of the pond, containing harvested duckweed. There is a slight colour difference between the duckweed in both ponds.
A big step towards #CircularEconomy and #Sustainability: Ongoing upscaling work at @uccresearch.bsky.social on replacing hydroponics-based #duckweed growth medium (L) with novel dairy soiled wastewater (R) to produce high value #AlternativeProtein crop.

A presenter stands next to the presentation screen. Prominent is the heading "Protein Extraction From Fresh Biomass".
A presentation on the extraction of protein from #duckweed biomass rounded off the talks at the Lemnaceae workshop before the final discussion session and a tour of the facilities.
Looking back on a successful day discussing current duckweed research and its future potential.

A group of people are arranged outside on the steps by the Mount Lucas Visitor Centre (Co. Offaly). They are smiling towards the camera. Behind the group a few small trees with fresh green leaves, and a blue sky.
☀️Today Mt Lucas Visitor Centre (Offaly) hosts international experts to discuss current duckweed research & applications as well as future perspectives for #duckweed to contribute to a sustainable future. Even the weather cooperated. #DuckFeedProject @IMPRESS_EU
