Good Practices to Address the Nutrient Surplus from Agriculture in Murcia (Spain)

Event
Date
Location
Murcia, Spain

The aim of the regional conference in Murcia was to present the region-specific results from the project "Resource Efficiency in Practice – Closing Mineral Cycles." The most promising and cost-effective measures at the farm level to close mineral cycles and reduce resource and economic inefficiency from nutrient losses (N, P, K) were presented. The conference seeks to highlight farmers' experiences with nutrient management, as well as barriers which may prevent uptake of good practices.

The regional conference took place on 4 November 2014 at the Consejería de Agricultura y Agua de Murcia.

The programme and details on the logistics can be found on the conference website Resource Efficiency in Practice.

Inefficient use of fertilisers leads to the accumulation of nutrients in areas of intense agricultural activities and can cause serious environmental problems in these areas and beyond. Those problems stem from the disturbance of natural mineral cycles, partly resulting... Read more
