2nd working group on best practice on the promotion of production and use of alternative fertilizers

Regional authorities interested in promoting the production and use of alternative fertilisers learnt about some best practice cases by joining us online on 04 September, from 13:30 to 15:30 CET.

The working group provided a space for discussion between frontrunners and regions aiming to support the uptake of alternative fertilizers by farmers. Frontrunners, in this case, were regional authorities that support the production and use of alternative fertilizers and manage to either create a local market for them or successfully convinced local players to use them effectively through policies, partnerships, or technical solutions.

Following the presentation of several best practices, a Q&A session was held to discuss the content of the presentations. The discussion focused on the topics of replicability, barriers, and the use of alternative fertilizers in organic agriculture, among others. Regional authorities interested in the topic of alternative fertilizers were invited to join this working group. The data gathered during this working group will feed the content of a policy brief addressed to policy makers to deliver successful strategies and instruments for the market deployment of circular fertilizers.
