| Description | Current designs for a circularity in agricultural are underdeveloped in terms of their impact on soil fertility. At the same time, nutrients and organic matter from human excreta are under-used. The aim is to bring these two ends together by analyzing how nutrient- and carbon-rich wastewater products can be effectively integrated into agricultural production by studying the contribution of these products to soil functioning (plant production, build up of soil organic matter, water retention) |
