What's new with the bio-based fertilisers?
B-ferst Newsletter #7 View online

Dear readers,

Welcome back to our newsletter, where we keep you updated with the project’s latest developments, news from the world of bio-fertilisers, and the achievements of our sister projects.

The eight biobased fertilisers have been validated in the third campaign of field trials, and the LCA analysis is now ongoing. The two demo plants dedicated to bio-waste treatment and bio-coating in Huelva, Spain have been completed. Project partners and CBE JU representative could visit it during the last meeting in Huelva in January.

B-Ferst is approaching its end, which means it is now disseminating its achievements: from the NERM event in Brussels, to the #CircularWasteEU social media campaign to showcase how B-Ferst contributes to the circular economy. 

B-Ferst has also published an interview delving into the topic of biodiversity and ULE recently published a scientific publication on the effects of the use of bio-based fertilisers. Additionally, B-Ferst continues to gather the latest opinion of experts and stakeholders in the world of the bio-based sector through workshops and trainings.

Find out what is happening in our sister projects: WalNUT has launched its interactive stakeholder platform, and project Model2Bio has developed some interesting editorial products to valorize agri-food side streams and identify promising value chains.

Stay tuned to hear more about what is coming next: from our final event, final video and brochure! Be the first to get our updates by following our social media accounts!
