As Ireland seeks circular solutions to enhance agricultural sustainability, a pivotal workshop during Irish Bioeconomy Week will focus on building a robust market for recycling-derived fertilisers (RDF).
The event, “Supporting the Market for Recycled Fertilisers in Ireland,” will
be held on Wednesday, October 15, from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm at the University of
Limerick.
This interactive session addresses a critical challenge: markets for alternative fertilisers do not simply emerge; they are actively shaped by policies, technologies, supply chains, and collective vision. The workshop will bring together fertiliser producers, farmers, policymakers, researchers, and advisors to collaboratively frame framed and how the market and supply chain might evolve in the years ahead.
Using an innovative Futures Market Scenario Sprint, participants will:
- Imagine the market for recycled fertilisers in 2035.
- Identify essential policy frameworks, supply chain innovations, and trust-building mechanisms.
- Surface key opportunities and challenges for farm-level adoption and national policy.
- Co-design strategies for creating viable, sustainable, and inclusive markets.
