Update from Gotland!
The barley fertilized with our dried urine is growing well. The picture meant to be posted here as well (but can’t) is taken 27 days after planting and it looks really good!
Nutrient Recovery and Reuse – Help Us Design a Systematic Map and Evidence Platform
Research and development of circular nutrient technologies has intensified over the past years, making research output in this field increasingly hard to navigate and keep track of. There is a need for a robust and comprehensive mapping and synthesis of existing relevant research and better brokering of knowledge to policy and practice. Researchers at our… Continue reading Nutrient Recovery and Reuse – Help Us Design a Systematic Map and Evidence Platform

Interested in practical aspects of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) waste processing?
As BSF has become mainstream as an exciting way to treat organic waste, we receive more and more inquiries with questions on “what shall I” and “how shall I”. Academic journal articles seldom give enough easily digestible answers for practitioners, interested in starting or already operating a BSF facility. For this purpose a practical knowledge… Continue reading Interested in practical aspects of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) waste processing?
Professor installation lecture
At the end of April all new professors at SLU were having their installation lectures. A totally new concept with online lectures and the audience could ask questions online. Björn gave his lecture with focus on how we in the future can decrease the emissions to the environment by disconnecting us from the water and… Continue reading Professor installation lecture
BSFL frass used to grow vegetables
Containing substantial amounts of plant nutrients, black soldier fly larvae frass or “BSF residue”, is a promising soil amendment that gains more and more interest with increasing BSF farming around the globe. In the last years, the residue at our BSF colony, accumulating from various chicken and fish feed experiments, was an overlooked ”by-product”. Most… Continue reading BSFL frass used to grow vegetables
Best Paper Award for “Recycling Nutrients Contained in Human Excreta to Agriculture: Pathways, Processes, and Products”
Over the past years, research on technologies to recover nutrients from human excreta and domestic wastewater has intensified to such an extent that it has become difficult even for researchers in the field to keep track of new developments. In 2019, Harder and colleagues published a paper in Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology… Continue reading Best Paper Award for “Recycling Nutrients Contained in Human Excreta to Agriculture: Pathways, Processes, and Products”
Master student analyses nutrient flows
My name is Sharareh Farshchiha and I am doing my master in Environmental Science at Gothenburg University. I write my master thesis for Sweden Water Research in collaboration with Robin Harder as my supervisor in SLU. The aim of the study is to map and analyze the circularity of nutrient flows (N, P, K) for… Continue reading Master student analyses nutrient flows
