FertiCovery Project
Advancing nutrient recovery and bio-based
fertilisers for sustainable agriculture.
FertiCovery is supporting farmers, bio-based fertiliser producers and policymakers to remove barriers and promote nutrient recovery and the application of bio-based fertilisers, from secondary raw materials such as biowaste, manure, and wastewater
Advancing nutrient recovery and bio-based fertilisers for sustainable agriculture
The FertiCovery project focuses on identifying the best available technologies for recycling fertilisers from secondary raw materials.
It aims to guide policymakers and stakeholders in adopting alternative fertilising products to balance nitrogen and phosphorus flows, enhance soil health, and maintain ecological sustainability at both regional and local levels.
Farmers and society can benefit from the circular use of alternative fertilising products recovered from secondary raw materials, as they lead to lower environmental impacts on soil, water, and air quality, biodiversity and climate.
FertiCovery will support policy makers and practitioners
in removing barriers and promote the application of
nutrient recovery and bio-based fertilisers.
