Livestock waste and animal by-product management

The Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support (DG REFORM) of the European Commission (EC) provided technical support to Cyprus’s national authorities. The goal is to integrate circular economy principles into the management of livestock and animal by-products (ABPs) waste. This project aligns with DG REFORM’s mission to foster growth-enhancing administrative and structural reforms using EU funds and technical expertise. The primary beneficiary is the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment (MARDE), specifically the Department of Environment and the Veterinary Services. Key stakeholders include the Department of Agriculture, Water Development Department, Agricultural Research Institute, and Energy Service. The expected results are improved waste management, reduced pollution, enhanced livestock sector sustainability, regulatory compliance, and progress towards a circular economy and renewable energy goals.
