Advancing circular fertilisers: solutions for a sustainable agriculture
Adopting circular fertilisers is essential for creating a more sustainable agricultural system. By recycling organic waste, such as manure, fish waste, and industrial by-products, circular fertilisers can decrease the EU dependence on fertilisers imports and return valuable nutrients to the soil enhancing its health and fertility.
The Sea2Land and Novafert final conference will provide insights into the innovative solutions and policy frameworks shaping the future of nutrient recycling.
A policy debate on nutrient recycling will discuss barriers and policy incentives for circular fertilisers with a focus on Sea2Land, Novafert and Nutri-Know recommendations on how regulatory frameworks can support the widespread adoption of sustainable practices and drive innovation in the agricultural sector. Parallel sessions will bring together experts and enthusiasts in the field of sustainable agriculture to explore the latest advancements in circular fertilisers.
Join us on the 5th of June for a day filled with insightful discussions, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities. Discover how research and innovation that can help promote sustainable practices in agriculture and contribute to a healthier planet.
The conference will be partially live-streamed.

About the projects
The EU-funded Novafert aimed to orientate the production and the application of alternative fertilising products according to the best environmental performances, by establishing methodological guidelines for the assessment of alternative fertilising products’ production, storage, distribution and application.
Based on the circular economy model, the EU-funded SEA2LAND project promoted the production of large-scale fertilisers in the EU from own raw materials. This solution can reduce the soil nutrient imbalance in Europe. To test it, the project produced several bio-based fertilsers for local crops and conditions as well as others for exporting.
