Join the NutriBudget and DeliSoil Co-creation workshop, hosted by Yara
The workshop will present ongoing work from two European projects, which are funded by the European Commission as part of the 2022 Horizon Europe Program under the EU ZEROPOLLUTION and Mission Soil Calls.
- The NutriBudget project aims to optimize the nutrient budget in agriculture, to reduce negative environmental impacts on climate, biodiversity, water, air, and soil.
- The DeliSoil project aims to demonstrate improved operations to produce recycled soil improvers from food processing side streams and bring safe, regulated sustainable fertilizer products to market and promote their use.
