FiBL is Part of the Newly Launched Project ReLEAF on Bio-based Fertilisers
08 August 2024, Switzerland: The Horizon Europe project ReLEAF has officially started after a successful kick-off meeting in Barcelona. Under the coordination of the Spanish technology centre Leitat, the ReLEAF consortium consists of 17 institutions from nine European countries, amongst them FiBL Switzerland.
This project aims to transform waste streams into bio-based fertilisers to reduce the dependence on mineral fertilisers in European agriculture. The project will advance and demonstrate a suite of innovative extraction techniques. With these techniques, key ingredients of bio-based fertilisers will be produced from diverse waste streams, including sewage sludge, fish processing waste and wastewater, mixed food waste, and agri-food residues.
FiBL Switzerland will be leading the sustainability assessment of the developed fertilisers and contribute to the agronomic performance evaluation of the fertilisers by conducting pot trials. Its contributions in the project will be based on its longstanding expertise in nutrient management and life cycle assessment in farming systems.
