Project description
Reusing bio-waste for more sustainable farming
Increasing land productivity in a sustainable way is the main current challenge in the farming sector. The EU-funded B-FERST project is proposing an integrated bio-waste valorisation system in agricultural management. The project is introducing a more sustainable resource management solution via tailor-made nutrient dosing adapted to farmer systems. Central to the effort to reverse soil nutrient loss is the reuse of bio-waste to replace non-renewable, non-domestic and energy-intensive raw materials. B-FERST aims at changing the market uptake of fertilisers in intensive agriculture as well as reducing the carbon footprint of the fertilisers’ production by at least 10 %, thus minimising their environmental impact.
