Permanent grasslands cover around 34% of the European Union’s utilised agricultural area and are vital for a wide variety of ecosystem services or ‘public good’ that are essential for our society. Over recent decades, the permanent grassland (PG) area in Western Europe has declined. For example, in the EU-6 countries, permanent grassland losses have been estimated at about 30% between 1967 and 2007.

FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).
This factsheet explains how bringing a team of farmer, vet, feed and farm advisors together is sharing different sources of knowledge together, making the Multi Actor Farm Health approach an effective approach to improve biosecurity on poultry farms
