MIDAS

Marginal lands, industrial crops and innovative bio-based value chains

Summary

MIDAS is a Horizon Europe project to develop and demonstrate innovative solutions to grow industrial crops on marginal agricultural land and produce a wide range of bio-based products, such as biodegradable mulching films, bioherbicides, latex, rubber, biocomposites, biochar and other large use consumer products.

MIDAS builds on two pillars:

To optimize selected climate-resilient, biodiversity-friendly industrial crops and cropping systems, able to tolerate water scarcity and mitigate desertification, while improving biodiversity conservation, particularly in Mediterranean and central European regions.
To improve the functional performance of specific value chains and products, taking into account an improved resource use efficiency so as to boost the sustainable use of non-edible industrial biomass in a biorefinery concept.
