Burgos Company of Biotechnology
The general director of the Science Park
Foundation of the USAL, Juan Manuel Corchado, and Luis Lombana, general
director of the biotechnology company Ficosterra of Burgos, have signed a
collaboration agreement within the framework of SALAMAQ17 whereby the
Scientific Park Foundation of the USAL will incorporate in the Campus in
Villamayor,this Burgos company, which intends to continue in collaboration with
the research groups of the University of Salamanca, the development of their
research on the application of algae and microorganisms to agriculture and
livestock
Ficosterra, sl., with offices in Burgos and
Madrid, has developed a line of products, services, and solutions for the
improvement of agriculture and the remediation of polluted environments, soils,
and waters whose common denominator is the Ficos technology: Functional,
Integrative, Coexisting, and Sustainable. Thanks to this, it manages, among
other challenges, to reduce the organic matter (from cattle stalls, purines, or
household waste) in a shorter time frame, to convert it into a new product of
high biological value, which is incorporated into the soil in order to
regenerate it and enrich its crops. It also develops biostimulants for use in
agriculture that improve the production of crops, without having environmental
impact because they are ecological.
Ficosterra, which is born and is based on the
principles of the Circular Economy, is very aware of the important challenge
facing Spain in terms of compliance with the European 2020 Strategy, a roadmap
towards an efficient Europe in the use of its resources that produces less
waste, whenever possible. This is where Ficosterra wants to play an important
role and make itself available to the different administrations, waste
management companies, and farmers, to offer them its solutions, services, and
products that contribute to transforming a waste laden with enormous management
and service costs into a quality product that regenerates our fields.
