Fair and Green receives funding decision for EIP project ‘Sustainable cut flowers’
- 13/08/2024
Dr Keith Ulrich and Dr Mario Kirchhoff received the funding decision for the EIP project ‘Sustainable Cut Flowers’ from the Lower Saxony Minister of Agriculture, Miriam Staudte, in Hanover on 13 August.
The city of Hamburg, together with the state of Lower Saxony, had launched a call for project ideas in which a consortium consisting of Fair and Green e. V., Athenga GmbH, the University of Kassel and cut flower companies from Hamburg had applied.
The project aims to make cut flower cultivation in Hamburg more sustainable in order to reduce the relocation of production and thus also negative environmental and social effects to the global South and to strengthen the domestic cut flower industry.
‘It is particularly great that this important topic is the first EIP project to be funded in Hamburg. A great honour for us,’ says Dr Keith Ulrich, Chairman of the Board of Fair and Green e. V.
