Novel procedures and sustainable guidelines to enhance the use of alternative fertilisers

In line with the Zero Pollution action plan, the “Farm to Fork” strategy and the new Fertilising Products Regulation, NOVAFERT demonstrates the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility and safe use of a wide portfolio of at least 25 alternative fertilising products, containing recovered nutrients from 6 different waste streams, with the goal of facilitating the replacement of synthetic and mineral fertilisers.

NOVAFERT aims to reduce environmental impacts and external nutrient dependence in agriculture in 6 representative countries from Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern and Central Europe.
