RUSTICA, un proyecto que le apuesta al uso de fertilizantes de base biológica para una agricultura circular
Esta iniciativa ofrecerá soluciones tecnológicas para convertir los residuos agroalimentarios en novedosos fertilizantes orgánicos de alta calidad, que respondan a las necesidades de la agricultura moderna.

Below is an excerpt from their blog.
El proyecto se llevará a cabo en cinco regiones, cuatro en Europa y una en América Latina (Valle del Cauca, Colombia). RUSTICA es financiado por el Programa de Investigación e Innovación Horizonte 2020 de la Unión Europea y cuenta con el apoyo de la Alianza Bioversity – CIAT para su implementación en Colombia.
A lo largo de su historia, la agricultura ha hecho uso de fuentes de nutrientes orgánicos para mejorar el rendimiento de los cultivos, principalmente en forma de estiércol y residuos de cultivos que se devuelven al campo. Sin embargo, en los últimos 100 años con la invención de fertilizantes producidos artificialmente, los productos fertilizantes orgánicos se han convertido en una minoría en las prácticas agrícolas convencionales de hoy.
