Objective Our society has moved from a phosphorous recycling loop, where animal manure and human wastes were spread on farming land to recycle nutrients, to a once-through system, where a large part of the used (artificial) fertiliser consists of phosphate compounds extracted from mined, non-renewable rock. To provide a more sustainable solution in fertilisation, the phosphate in manure should be used instead, thus in feet repairing the broken agricultural phosphorous cycle. In order to guarantee an environmentally sound use of manure for agricultural purposes, its composition should be certified and free of heavy metal pollutants. To achieve these goals, the research described in this proposal is addressing two objectives:¿ Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringwaste managementwaste treatment processesrecyclingnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesenvironmental sciencespollutionagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculturehorticulturevegetable growing Keywords 03.03.04.04.09.00.00 Environment Health and Programme(s) FP6-MOBILITY - Human resources and Mobility in the specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration "Structuring the European Research Area" under the Sixth Framework Programme 2002-2006 Topic(s) MOBILITY-2.1 - Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships (EIF) Call for proposal FP6-2002-MOBILITY-5 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme EIF - Marie Curie actions-Intra-European Fellowships Coordinator AGROTECHNOLOGY AND FOOD INNOVATIONS EU contribution No data Address Bornesesteeg 58 WAGENINGEN Netherlands See on map Total cost No data
