Compost and Digestate in Agriculture project announced by WRAP

05 Apr 2011

Digestate & Compost in Agriculture Project  compost hand full 275184

 

The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) have announced a four year research project looking at the use of quality anaerobic digestate (biofertiliser) and compost in agriculture.  Find out more about the research project by clicking on the Project Bulletin under "Related Documents".  Sign up for updates by visiting the WRAP website.

Recycling organic materials 

Using quality digestate and compost in agriculture can improve soil fertility and provides valuable plant nutrients.  The Digestate & Compost in Agriculture project will gather data which will enable these materials to be used more efficiently by farmers, helping to control costs and improve production.  

A vital objective of the project is to make the research results accessible to farmers and growers.  A strong programme of knowledge exchange is being developed to deliver this through guidance tools, events and learning materials.  A large number of agricultural colleges are directly involved, to provide both current and future farmers with the knowledge and skills to maximise the potential of quality digestate and compost to benefit their gross margins and the environment.

To find out more about the project, or sign up to newsletter updates, go to the WRAP website by clicking under "Related Links".
