Alfalfa for sustainable Livestock farming systems: Improve alfalfa-rhizobia symbiosis and new feeding strategy based on ecological leftovers.
The project fits the Topic “Resource-efficient, circular and zero-waste food systems”.
The main objects of ALL-IN are the
selection of elite rhizobial inoculants that enhance alfalfa yield and the development of specific sheep diets centred on alfalfa in
combination with farm organic by-products (e.g. bio-waste from olive oil manufacturing).

ALL-IN aims to improve sustainable feed and food production using a two-step strategy. The plan is based on the increase of alfalfa yield (in normal and semi-arid conditions) and its use as central component in a balanced diet for livestock in combination with farm bio-waste.
