Phosphorus use and recycling in intensive livestock
UNEP uPcycle workshop „The Phosphorus use and recycling in intensive livestock“ organised by BETA Technology Centre (University of Vic), with ESPP, hosted by Cooperl (the Brittany pig farm cooperative) and Roullier (feed and fertilisers) takes place
from 5 to 7 March 2025
in Saint Malo, Brittany, France and online.
Can intensive livestock be more phosphorus efficient than extensive or organic farming ? Looking at P flows, P efficiency in feed, P-recycling, best nutrient management practices.
The workshop will dicuss:
- How to balance the efficiencies possible in nutrient management in intensive livestock production and the social benefits (price of meat, regional agri-food specialisation …) with regional nutrient misbalance challenges
- Best Available Technologies and Best Environmental Management Practices today and tomorrow for livestock nutrient Management, from feed to manure
- Manure processing and nutrient recycling: technologies, environmental benefits, challenges to implementation
The expected workshop outcomes are:
- Workshop summary to be published in ESPP SCOPE Newsletter (110 000 emailing worldwide)
- Define key messages of joint position paper on nutrient sustainability in intensive livestock production, 1-4 pages
- This position paper will provide input to the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) project uPcycle
