Summary in the original language of the document

Duckweed is a valuable source of protein and a potential crop for animal feed. This factsheet addresses the main challenges for production. The latest findings from FiBL, the ZHAW and other international research projects emphasize the potential of duckweed as animal feed. This factsheet also points out the open questions, for example in the area of biosafety, the legal basis for using liquid manure as a nutrient substrate, or the shelf life of duckweed as animal feed.
