ReNu2Farm Capitalisation Initiative is widening the scope of the ReNu2Farm project with the aim to stimulate new markets for increased RDF (Recycling-Derived Fertilizer) use and decrease mineral fertiliser usage in North-West Europe. The project is focusing on the recreational sector as well as private users, among others. Read More
ReNu2Farm Capitalisation Initiative is widening the scope of the ReNu2Farm project with the aim to stimulate new markets for increased RDF (Recycling-Derived Fertilizer) use and decrease mineral fertiliser usage in North-West Europe. The new focus lies with horticulture sector, which represents the largest RDF sales market after agriculture, and the private/recreational sectors. Read More
In the Call for Capitalisation prolongation, ReNu2Farm has formed a synergy with the GROOF project. GROOF is a cross-sectoral innovation project to explore how building integrated greenhouses can help the built environment reduce CO2 emissions both by improving the thermal, operational, and metabolic performance of their host buildings while substituting the need to import perishable greenhouse products from long distances to their urban markets. This project now announces the release of its new initiative supporting the accelerated adoption of the Building Integrated Greenhouse concept by offering up to 10 early adopted a one-year individual and collective coaching program.

On September 9th 2021, Interreg NWE projects ReNu2Farm and ALG-AD hosted online a closing event titled ‘Circular bioeconomy: production of recycling-derived fertilisers and algal biomass’. We provide a short summary of the day. Read More
The Interreg NWE project ReNu2Farm, recently published a report entitled ‘Report on mineral nutrient composition of analysed recycling-derived fertilisers’ under the project Work package 1: Production and logistics of Recycling-derived fertilisers (RDFs) (WPT1_Activity 3_Deliverable 3.1). Read More
The purpose of the demonstration workshop was to train stakeholders from agriculture, biogas industry, fertilizer production and distribution on the current state of recycling derived fertilizers production, use and acceptance. Main focus are the nutrients phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium as they are of enormous importance for fertile soils. Read More
Arvalis proposes a new decision support tool (DST), accessible and free on the Internet, to calculate in a few clicks the fertilizing effect of organic or biobased products, such as livestock effluents or recycling-derived fertilisers. It is available in 4 languages : French, German, English and Flemish. Read More
Environ is the largest and longest running environmental science conference and forum for environmental researchers in Ireland, with almost 300 delegates attending the event annually. Environ happens in collaboration with a different higher education organisation every year and the Environmental Sciences Association of Ireland. This year's conference, the 31st Irish Environmental Researchers Colloquium (Environ 2021), was hosted on line by the Environmental Research Institute at University College Cork, from16th to 18th June. This annual event provides a high-visibility platform for young and experienced researchers to present their findings to an audience drawn from academia, government bodies and agencies, as well as industry.

The ReNu2Farm project partner Nutrient Management Institute from the Netherlands performed a three years field trial with biowaste compost as a recycling-derived fertiliser. The compost was compared with other organic fertilisers such as cattle slurry as well as with mineral fertiliser in a maize crop on sandy soil. The objective of the trial was to investigate to what extent the functioning of the top soil layer of leachable sandy soil can be improved by increasing the organic matter content and the related soil functions, without leading to an increase in nitrate leaching.

Organized every two years by ARVALIS, this open-field event is aimed at arable crop farmers looking for innovations for the performance of their farm. Extending over 20ha, the event consists of a technical part where 45 technical workshops made it possible for Arvalis experts to present their latest projects and answer visitors' questions; and of an exhibitor section where more than 300 exhibitors could present their latest innovations. This year, around 10 000 visitors came at the Culturales®. What better opportunity to talk about fertilization and recycling-derived fertilisers? Hélène Lagrange, an Arvalis fertilization expert, was there to answer questions on the ReNu2Farm project as well as on good practices for using these fertilizers, their performance and their carbon footprint.” Read More
