In this last year of the Interreg NWE ReNu2Farm project, the bi-annual meeting between the European partners organised by Arvalis was held in France, at the Boigneville station in the Ile-de-France region. The Boigneville station on which approximately 150 employees are working, is the largest of the 27 Arvalis stations covering the French territory. Read More
After the unsuccessful pot trials with Spinacea olaracea (spinach) as part of WP T2, D2.2, the experiment was repeated with Lactuca sativa (lettuce) under controlled conditions to determine fertiliser performance at a level of plant availability and to determine the nutrient use efficiency of the recycling-derived fertilisers and their blends.

The biogas plants currently in operation in Germany significantly contribute to the provision of renewable electricity and renewable heat. Since the amendment of the EEG (Renewable Energy Law) in 2014, the number of new biogas plants has declined sharply. Read More
Does your company recover nutrients (N, P, K...) into recycling-derived fertilizers by means of innovative technologies? Would you like a promo video about that? As part of our ReNu2Farm project, we can put your success story in the spotlight. Are you interested? Then read on and apply! Read More
Recycling-derived fertilisers (RDFs) are recycled products from different sources that can be used to replace mineral fertilisers. These RDF products have a high nutrient value, are readily available, and are safe to use. Farmers in seven countries across NW Europe were surveyed to determine their experience of using 15 different RDF products. A high number of participants took part in the survey, 1225 in total, including 250 participants in Belgium, 679 in France, 65 in Germany, 149 in Ireland, two in Luxembourg, 73 in the Netherlands and seven in the United Kingdom.

In order to obtain the highest possible exchange between different Interreg projects, Soil-Concept contacted different project partners from the agricultural sector in Luxembourg, who are or have been active in Interreg or Horizon projects. It should be an exchange between the projects and the possibility to have common goals and projects for development. Read More
On 2 December, Inagro organised a learning network on recycling-derived fertilisers. During that interesting afternoon, we focused on adapted stables for pigs. Would you like to know more about this innovative stable system? Read More
The first season of field trials within ReNu2Farm was successfully completed in the autumn of 2019. Field trials were carried out in the Netherlands, Ireland, France and Belgium to investigate the fertilizer value and environmental effects of recycling-derived fertilizers. Read More
Agriculture plays a major role in phosphorus flows in France. To use limited resources in the most efficient way, and to avoid environmental risks, stakeholders (farmers, researchers, and suppliers) created in 1980 an independent association in France, the French Committee for the Study and Development of Rational Fertilisation (COMIFER), to share reflections, references, and methods. Three boards compose the COMIFER: public institutions, agricultural organisations and economic structures. The COMIFER with GEMAS (French committee on soil analysis) organised mid-November the biennial of “Soil and plants analysis and fertilisation management” in Dijon (France). Read More
The Interreg North-West Europe (NWE) programme has launched the first impact event on 4 and 5 December 2019, which took place in Tourcoing (Lille agglomeration, Hauts-de-France) at La Chaufferie. An opening plenary session opened the discussion on the programme’s result orientation and the need to maximise the impact of projects throughout the NWE territory, and beyond in Europe. Read More
