More about the project
Main results and conclusions
The project started as previously scheduled in the proposal with a kick off meeting, agreements on the methods to be used and the search of appropriate alternative phosphorus fertilizers for pot and field experiments.
We contacted important stakeholders like the colleagues of the EU P-Rex-Project, and organic farmer’s organizations. A project webpage, a project information leaflet as well as press releases were prepared in English and national languages and disseminated. Furthermore, a project working platform with password-access was implemented to share files (e.g. literature, project documents, minutes) and informations.
Last but not least, three factsheets were prepared: one about precipitation products from sewage sludge was already published in January 2015, another about meat and bone meal is in the production cycle, and the third one in the editing phase.
