A pioneering project that combines in vitro cultivation with regenerated water and microalgae for greener agriculture
We visited the ChlorellaNet Tech lab at the Institut d’Horticultura i Jardineria de Reus, where Nuria Ferré Huget, the soul and leader of the project, showed us how Vocational Education can lead innovation and environmental care hand in hand.
The project explores the use of Chlorella vulgaris, a microalgae with regenerative properties, applied to in vitro seed cultivation (like barley and lettuce). Using reclaimed or treated water and nutrient media enriched with Chlorella, they achieve fast and effective germination, opening doors to a more sustainable form of agriculture.
With the support of Aigües de Reus, CaixaBank Dualiza, and FPEmpresa, this initiative not only promotes circular economy and sustainability, but also highlights the power of Vocational Education as a driver of change.
🔬🌱 From Reus, the future of agriculture is growing in a green, committed lab.
