Using food and fisheries waste to provide sustainable soil and cultivation for Europe

3/19/2018

1 Comment

 
The University of Portsmouth is playing a major role in a European project using agricultural and fisheries waste to develop sustainable methods and products to improve soil quality and reduce CO2 emissions.

The aim of the project is to replace non-renewable horticultural resources (chemical fertilisers, pesticides and growing media such as peat, coir or stonewool) with local and renewable agriculture, food and fisheries waste. This waste can then be turned into bio-energy, biochar (charcoal that is used as a soil amendement which can hold carbon in soil for hundreds to thousands of years) and a biodegradable material called chitin to use as soil substrates and fertilisers.

Goodluck to all people who are part of this project, especially for the University of Portsmouth. I can sense that this study will be a success because natural waste is a good fertilizer in the first place, so I'm confindent that this cultivation that is bound to happen in Europe will be successful! It's fun to talk about agricultural stuff like this especially if you have the knowledge about it!
