Critical analysis of life cycle inventory datasets for organic crop production systems
(Springer, 2022-04-20)
Purpose
Organic agriculture (OA) has gained widespread popularity due to its view as a more sustainable method of farming. Yet OA and conventional agriculture (CA) can be found to have similar or varying ...
Selection and application of agri-environmental indicators to assess potential technologies for nutrient recovery in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-12-13)
The adverse effects of agriculture and livestock production on the environment are well-known and require mitigation in order to achieve sustainability in the food production chain. This study focused ...
Closing nutrient loops in a maize rotation. Catch crops to reduce nutrient leaching and increase biogas production by anaerobic co-digestion with dairy manure
(Elsevier, 2021-04-18)
Three catch crop species, ryegrass, forage rape and black oat, were grown between successive rotations of maize to reduce nitrogen leaching due to maize fertilization with digested dairy manure. Catch ...
Acidification and solar drying of manure-based digestate to produce improved fertilizing products
(Elsevier, 2023-03-13)
The increase in energy and fertilizer consumption makes it necessary to develop sustainable alternatives for
agriculture. Anaerobic digestion and digestates appeared to be suitable options. However, ...
Assessment of social aspects across Europe resulting from the insertion of technologies for nutrient recovery and recycling in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2022-02-02)
The potential beneficial and harmful social impacts generated by the introduction of novel technologies, in general, and those concerning nutrient recovery and the improvement of nutrient efficiency in ...
Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporation of Ammonia from Pig Slurry at Laboratory and Pilot-Plant Scale
(MDPI, 2023-10-03)
Livestock manure has a high ammonium content that can limit its direct application on soil as a fertiliser in nitrate-vulnerable zones. Treatment technologies that are able to extract ammonium from ...
