Nutrient recycling

Closing nutrient cycles is essential to develop a more efficient and sustainable food and feed production systems and protect the environment. At the moment, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, essential to life, are lost along the entire food chain.

The transition to a more circular economy by means of resource recovery can change this and boost the bio-economy efforts in the EU. However we need more action to develop a holistic approach to nutrient management.

As part of the commitment on nutrient recycling, the Biorefine Cluster launched the ESNI Community, a platform for knowledge sharing on nutrient recycling.
