Exploring Nutrient Recovery in Île-de-France: Join experts on April 7, 2025, at the Institut Paris Region to discuss innovative solutions for reusing human excreta in agriculture.
On April 7, 2025, the Institut Paris Region will host a an event titled “Valoriser les nutriments excrétés par les Franciliens” at their premises in Saint-Denis, France. This event aims to explore innovative methods for recovering and reusing nutrients from human excreta, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, to enhance agricultural practices and reduce environmental pollutionhttps://www.billetweb.fr/petit-dejeuner-decideurs-chercheurs-valoriser-les-nutriments-excretes-par-les-franciliens.
The event will begin with opening remarks from Christian Thibault, Director of the Urban and Rural Environment Department, and presentations from various experts. Discussions will cover the potential of nutrient recovery to address chronic river pollution and dependency on fossil resources for agricultural fertilisers. The session will specifically highlight opportunities for implementing nutrient recycling systems in the Île-de-France region.
Event Details:
- Date: April 7, 2025
- Time: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
- Location: Institut Paris Region, 66-68 Rue Pleyel, Saint-Denis, France
One of the key speakers will be Tanguy Fardet, a researcher at the Laboratoire Eau, Environnement, Systèmes Urbains (LEESU) of the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, part of the P2GreeN project consortium. His participation is particularly noteworthy as he represents the P2GreeN project, which focuses on implementing innovative nutrient recovery solutions utilising human sanitary waste from urban areas to convert it into fertilisers for agricultural production. By attending, participants will gain insights into how these practices can be implemented locally and contribute to global sustainability efforts.
The event emphasises dialogue between decision-makers and researchers, recognising that stakeholder engagement is essential to the success of nutrient recovery initiatives. By bringing together researchers, policymakers, and local authorities, it aims to foster collaboration and explore practical pathways for implementing these practices. Involving a diverse range of stakeholders ensures that multiple perspectives are considered, leading to more effective and sustainable solutions.
This event promises to be an engaging and informative session for anyone interested in sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. Click here for the agenda and further information!
