Farmers’ Attitudes Towards Innovative Waste Management

The TEAPOTS project aims to meet farmers’ waste management needs by converting agricultural waste into renewable energy and, in parallel, plant biostimulants. Surveys conducted in Germany, Greece, and Italy identified farmers’ waste management practices and their willingness to participate in the TEAPOTS Integrated Solution (TIS). Results show general interest in providing waste to TIS owners. Financial returns and soil improvement are key motivators, with the logistics of waste collection and transfer emerging as major challenges. The study highlights the potential of TIS while emphasizing the need for logistics solutions and enhanced pro-environmental attitudes.
