BETA Technological Center (UVIC)
The mission of BETA Technological Center is to improve the competitiveness and the quality of life of the rural societies, through the participation and leadership in National and International research projects and cooperating with companies, public administrations and social entities.
BETA TC is offering a wide range of innovative solutions and services, through applied research and development in 7 complementary fields of expertise: Environmental Technologies and Circular Bioeconomy, Applied Ecology and Global Change, Sustainable Food & Farming Systems, Sustainability Accounting and Optimization, Green Digital Transition, Governance for Sustainability and Knowledge Transfer and territorial-sectorial projects.
One of the main topics targeted by BETA is the sustainable nutrient management. In this regard, we are working with the valorisation of nutrient-rich by-products to produce bio-based fertilisers that can substitute synthetic fertilizers, promoting a sustainable and low-emission agri-food system. Through advanced technologies, we monitor and optimize the use of nutrients to ensure environmental, economic and social balance in agricultural systems.
