Nutrient recycling
As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

How to improve the agronomic use of recycled nutrients (N and P) from livestock manure and other organic sources?
The final report of this Focus Group has been published.
Get all the information at a glance in the Nutrient recycling factsheet.
Tasks:
-
Identify relevant techniques (e.g. composting, bio-digestion, etc.) to process livestock manure and other organic sources and assess the agronomic and environmental value of the derived products (e.g. nutrient availability, quality, impacts on soils, contaminants, etc.).
-
Contextually, identify tools and instruments to help farmers to measure the nutrient content (and availability for crops) and recommendations for the application of these products.
-
Analyse economic and technical factors (e.g. livestock management practices, sanitary aspects, etc.) that stimulate or limit the use of these products in agriculture and indicate how to address them exploring the role of innovation and knowledge transfer.
-
Illustrate possible strategies to adapt derived products to market demands (e.g. development of quality standards) and successful business cases that exist at farm level, local and regional scale.
-
Identify research needs from practice, possible gaps in technical knowledge, and further research work to address them.
-
Suggest innovative solutions and provide ideas for EIP-AGRI Operational Groups and other innovative projects.
