ECOFERM! is the first closed loop farm in the Netherlands. Central to the ECOFERM! concept is the principle of closed cycles. The ‘waste’ products from veal farming (manure, ammonia, water, vapour, CO2 and residual heat from animals) are used for the production of: duckweed, algae, biogas, electricity and clean water. The duckweed is fed back to the calves. The water left over when duckweed plants have extracted nutrients is put through transparent tubes to grow algae. This "algae water" is then given to the calves, who prefer it over regular water. More details in the video.
