AT42-Closing cycles/NTREC

Nutrient recovery by means of return, transfer or utilisation of organic by-products on the farm

Description

use of farming residues and waste to produce compost or fertilizer

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Farms need a reasonably closed nutrient cycle to recover energy and resources

Objective

developing and testing practical measures that can close material cycles in farms and improve nutrient and humus efficiency through better use of agricultural residues
