Circular Agronomics
Along 7 work packages and 6 case-studies, representing locations with different biogeographic conditions and environmental challenges typical for the European agricultural sector, the objective of CA is to contribute to a development towards…
Phos4You
Phos4You addresses the phosphorus (P) challenge. P is a nutrient essential for all living organisms. Though it is a finite resource on earth, P is largely wasted today. The EU acknowledged this by adding phosphate rock to its list of critical raw…
SYSTEMIC
Creation of a roadmap to facilitate solutions for biowaste in the EU.
SYSTEMIC recognizes Europe’s challenge to tackle the increasing resources constraint and to facilitate the transition towards a more circular economy (COM, 2015-614). SYSTEMIC…
ALG-AD
ALG-AD addresses reuse of waste to generate products for a sustainable economy, reducing pollution risk and dependence on imported material resources.
North West Europe (NWE), a densely populated intensive agricultural area, contributes disproportionately…
ReNu2Farm
Nutrient Recycling – from pilot production to farms and fields.
Selected project countries are Ireland, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and France. Within these countries, regions with nutrient shortage and surplus can be distinguished.…
SABANA
The key advantages of SABANA project are: the sustainability of the process, using marine water and recovering nutrients from wastewaters while minimizing the energy consumption, and the socioeconomic benefits, due to the relevance of the target bioproducts…
New-C-Land
Space in the border regions of Flanders, Wallonia and France is scarce. However, many parcels remain unused at the moment, for example due to environmental pollution.The respective (regional) governments are currently strongly committed to the…
Run4Life - Recovery and Utilization of Nutrients 4 Low Impact
The world food supply is entirely dependent on the use of fertilisers. However, the current fertiliser production practices are not sustainable. Phosphate rock is a non-renewable resource, whereas the…
ESNI 2020 -European Sustainable Nutrient Initiative
online
Policy-makers, researchers, industry representatives and many other stakeholders will discuss how to raise awareness on the benefits of nutrient recycling and…
Nutri2Cycle
NUTRI2CYCLE addresses these needs by benchmarking the current N, P and C flows as a starting point to re-design (using scenario-analysis) and test new business models in nutrient management (‘prototypes’) to mitigate emissions. These prototypes will be…
