The European Commission is considering allowing farmers to use certain types of liquid digestate to reduce chemical fertilizer costs while managing environmental risks. A public consultation has been launched to amend the Nitrates Directive, enabling member states to permit the use of liquid digestate, a fertilizer byproduct from anaerobic digestion. This initiative aims to alleviate dependency on imported synthetic fertilizers and promote sustainable nutrient use. However, the benefits depend on the digestate's quality and potential health risks from contaminants and pathogens must be monitored. The proposal will undergo a public consultation and requires approval from member states and the European Parliament.
