Outlook on future legislative aspects for RUSTICA nutrient cycles

Based on D3.2 and D3.6, alterations in the legal environment of RUSTICA will be continually monitored and documented during the life-time of the project. Results will be presented with a future perspective in D3.13.

RUSTICA legislative aspects at national and regional level

Detailed legal information on the five caste study regions and an overview on the national situations in EU Member States and Colombia will be provided in D3.6.

Technical biofertiliser potential in EU-28

Report on the model developed for the assessment of potential biofertiliser production from local, unused waste streams. This model will combine results from the RUSTICA lab integration, pilot demonstrators and open-source data
