On the 3rd of June, the University of Ghent together with Inagro organised a workshop for SMEs and producers. During this workshop, some of the most important results of the farmer survey, performed in 2019 on what farmers want from their fertilisers, was shared with the producers. This can help them cater their products, recycling-derived fertilisers (RDFs) better for their target market, which are mostly farmers. Read More

In the process of reducing the use of limited natural resources, such as phosphorus of mineral origin, recycling-derived fertilisers (RDF) are an interesting alternative to artificial fertilisers. In the below video, Laurent Varvoux, co-leader of the Nitrogen and Sulphur group at COMIFER, and 3 French producers shed light on what RDF are and the opportunities they can offer in terms of fertilisation and sustainability.

ReNu2Farm created an animation video to convince farmers on the use of recycling-derived fertilisers in their fertilisation strategy. The project will launch several educational tools to inform farmers on the benefits and possibilities of recycling-derived fertilisers. The aim of the animation video is to create awareness, and to show some examples of innovative technologies. Read More
During stakeholder engagement, it was found that the farming community is not familiar with the term Recycling Derived Fertilisers (RDFs). These videos were produced as an educational tool to help inform the farming community about RDF products. The videos are available in five languages (English, Dutch, Flemish, French and German).
