#RESIDUE project, funded by the @PRIMInnovation , is ready to start! The project develops an innovative technology able to reduce the risk of transferring organic contaminants from reclaimed wastewater, used for irrigation purposes, into agricultural products. @FraunhoferIME

#RESIDUE contributes to developing a framework for the safe use of wastewater for irrigation through: a more pragmatic approach to water management under water scarcity 💧 cost reductions in water treatment through residue revalorization ♻️ a more sustainable agriculture 🌱

🌱💧#RESIDUE, coordinated by @FraunhoferIME, in collaboration with Consorzio Italbiotec, @FreieUniversitat, IRNAS Sevilla and @PhytorLabJerusalem, reduces the risk of chemical residues in soils and crops in the Mediterranean area 🔎Discover more: primaobservatory.unisi.it/it/projects/ri… Segretariato Italiano di PRIMA

Biochar and sewage sludge's effects on crops! Watch the video on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=ECw8CC…

Composed of more than 90% carbon, biochar is obtained from waste substances through pyrolysis and/or gasification of plant biomass and can be used both as an energy source and for its ability to sequester carbon in the soil. Do you want to know more about that? follow us!
