VISIT TO MALT HOUSE FOR BE^2R PROJECT

min read

On October 27, 2022, at 10:30 a.m., a demonstrative visit will take place regarding malting activities within the framework of the BE^2R project "From Field to Mug," funded by the Rural Development Program (PSR) Puglia 2014-2020 - Measure 16.2 "Support for pilot projects and the development of new products, practices, processes, and technologies," for an amount of €392,419.28.

The visit, titled "Malting, a Crucial Step in the Brewing Chain," will be held at Monfarm s.r.l. (SP109, Km. 28) in Lucera (FG) and will involve Professor Antonella Baiano from the Department of DAFNE at the University of Foggia, who is the Technical Scientific Manager of the project.

One of the objectives of the project is to promote the development of Puglian agricultural beer production by seizing the growth opportunities in this market. The ongoing work involves creating a protocol for the production of agricultural beer with a strong territorial identity, using traditional Puglian cereals and, for example, locally produced hops and self-produced yeasts in the company, with processes suitable for niche productions of high quality.

The project partners form an Operational Group of the Agricultural European Innovation Partnership (PEI AGRI), a cooperation model based on the "interactive innovation model" that involves collaboration among various actors to make the best use of different complementary types of knowledge, whose main objective is the co-creation and dissemination of solutions/opportunities ready to be implemented in practice.

The BE^2R Operational Group is composed of significant figures from the brewing sector (Birra Salento Società semplice agricola, as the lead partner; Officine Birrai; Soc. Coop. Agricola Valle Verde; Solimando Giuseppe; Birra Salento Srl); the research field (University of Foggia, Council for Agricultural Research and Economics: National Research Council); consulting companies that have been promoting and evaluating innovations in the agri-food sector for years (AretèSrl, Cassandro Srl); the Dare Puglia (Agri-food Technological District) and CIA Puglia.
