In 2026, agricultural input costs are rising while farmers face declining production prices. Eurostat data shows a 5.8% drop in average agricultural prices in the EU, while input costs increased by 4.7%. Fertilizers have seen a significant price rise, particularly in Romania, where input costs surged by 11.7%. The EU's reliance on imported fertilizers exposes its agriculture to global market fluctuations. The European Commission emphasizes the importance of recovering nutrients from livestock waste as a means to reduce dependency on imports and enhance farm resilience. The FertiCovery project aims to utilize existing nutrients in waste materials effectively. The economic value of manure is linked to its nutrient content and transportation costs. Efficient fertilization combines available nutrients with mineral fertilizers to meet crop needs. The management of emissions and odors during application is crucial for maintaining nutrient value and minimizing losses. Overall, recovering…
