Greenfeed Dominicana: transforming livestock waste into high-value protein and sustainable solutions (pilot in Indonesia)

Introduction GREENFEED Dominicana is pioneering the transformation of livestock waste—particularly poultry mortalities—into high-protein meals and sustainable by-products in support of circular economy practices in agriculture. Through a pilot initiative launched in Indramayu, Indonesia, GREENFEED is demonstrating the potential of its model to reduce organic waste, cut feed costs, and improve agricultural productivity.
