The rapid growth of the global population and the resulting need to ensure sufficient food
safety in highly productive agricultural practices. Intensive cultivation of plants contributes to …

Slow-release fertilizers represent a possible large-scale application for plant polymers. Here
we show a facile way to stabilize urea in fertilizer systems by lignin. Chelation of kraft black …

Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were produced using cheese whey as feedstock. A mixed culture
packed bed bioreactor was set up to digest anaerobically, under an acidogenic condition, a …

A smart ionic co-crystal of urea with KCl and ZnCl2 has been obtained in two polymorphic
modifications via mechanochemical and solution methods and proven to be a very efficient …

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) as a chelated and controlled-release fertilizer has been
widely used in agriculture, and its hydrolysis process is of significance for its storage and …

Iron-binding peptides are an alternative for increasing the bioavailability of iron and to
decreasing its pro-oxidant effect. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize peptide …

One of the key global challenges forthcoming will be maintaining a clean, useable natural
water supply. Anthropogenic wastewater is an unavoidable result of population growth and …

In this work, a multielement compound fertilizer (MCF) was fabricated using ammonium zinc
phosphate (AZP) as kernel nutrient element, and polydopamine (Pdop) film as inner coating …

Anthropogenic solid waste can serve as a reactive substrate to adsorb and immobilize PO 4
3-to enhance the sustainability of the water-energy-food nexus due to nutrient streams being …

The sustainable utilization of different food waste and other products is one of the
challenges of the European Green Course. Buckwheat has major potential as a food …
