MainstreamBIO_Collection of Nutrient Recycling Practices_Dataset1_2023.06.01_v1

The dataset contains a developed set of Nutrient recycling practices (NRPs), which refer to the processes of recovering nutrients from organic waste and wastewater and returning them to agricultural land as recycled nutrient fertilizers (RNFs). In the processes, nutrients from nutrient-rich materials created during production and consumption are reused sustainably and safely as recycled nutrients. NRP is a sustainable practice that helps reduce waste and pollution while improving soil health and increasing crop yields. NRP also reduces the use of non-renewable natural resources and can reduce nutrient emissions into the environment.

Most of the selected practices are widely used mainly in agriculture, but also in forestry. A large group of them is well recognized and accepted by stakeholders, but some of them are associated with a specific location where appropriate biomass and technology is available. A certain group of practices presents an innovative approach to the problem of nutrient recycling and these practices are not widely known and implemented.
