Laura Diaz presented the Mediterranean pilot of NutriBudget at #NERM2024 . Through 5 mitigation measures, this pilot in Catalonia wants to reduce soil & water pollution (mainly nitrates) due to excessive application of waste from #pig farming. Read more: nutribudget.eu/pilots/

Together with H2020_RecaP the ESNI community, part of the Biorefine Cluster, organised on 15 April a pre-event to #NERM2024 focusing on PhD students working on #nutrient (re)cycling, with lively exchanges on a variety of topics within the field. biorefine.eu/nutrient-recyc…

The second day of #NERM2024 starts with an interesting expert panel discussion on the 'Path to market of Bio-based fertilisers', moderated by Robert van Spingelen Phosphorus Platform #nutrients #research

Our colleague Alicia G. Míguez attended the #NERM2024 , in Brussels, to present #Cetaqua 's proposal within the WalNUT.
The aim is to produce circular fertilisers ♻️ based on nutrients recovered from the sludge generated in the Ourense #ecofactory , managed by Viaqua.

▶️ This week we are at the #NERM Conference of the Phosphorus Platform Platform, to present our #research into the valorisation of nutrients to produce bio-based fertilisers.

A great opportunity to explain the final results of the biorefineries tested thanks to FERTIMANURE official! ♻️

#NERM is starting tomorrow but many interesting things are happening today too🌱

Phosphorus is a pollutant. While in economically developed countries P losses from sewage are largely under control, agricultural P losses remain a major challenge. #Pweek2024
