LEAFLET - FERTIMANURE in a nutshell

The mission of the FERTIMANURE project is to provide innovative solutions (technology, end-products, and business models) that solve real issues, ie the manure challenge, and help farmers with the stakes that they are currently facing. FERTIMANURE will set-up 5 on-farm pilots  in 5 different EU countries, valorising manure from 3 different types of feedstocks FERTIMANURE will develop, integrate, test and validate innovative nutrient management strategies so as to efficiently recover and reuse nutrients and other products with agronomic value from manure, to ultimately obtain reliable and safe fertilisers that can compete in the EU fertiliser market.

The FERTIMANURE project will cover both technological and nutrient management approaches: 
> The technological side will be addressed with the implementation of 5 innovative & integrated on-farm experimental pilots for nutrient recovery in the most relevant European countries in terms of livestock production (Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands),
> The nutrient management will be addressed through 3 different strategies adapted to mixed and specialised farming systems: Strategy #1 with on-farm production and use of bio-based fertilisers (BBF)(1) , Strategy #2 with on-farm BBF production and centralised tailor-made fertilisers (TMF)(2)  production, and Strategy #3 with on-farm TMF production and use.

(1) Bio-based fertilisers (BBF): Fertiliser products derived from renewable biomass-related resources. FERTIMANURE BBF products are fertilisers obtained directly on-farm from the innovative technologies for treating animal slurries and manures.
(2) Tailor-made fertilisers (TMF): Customised fertiliser formulations adapted to specific crop/soil needs. FERTIMANURE TMF will be produced by combining (i) FERTIMANURE BBF and, if necessary, (ii) supplementary products (mineral nutrients, micro and macro elements, biostimulants, etc.) directly provided by the fertiliser companies.

We have produced a leaflet that explains it all about our project.
