The ECONUTRI project was proudly represented at the 19th International RAMIRAN Conference, held from 15 to 17 October in Wageningen, The Netherlands. RAMIRAN (Recycling of Agricultural, Municipal and Industrial Residues in Agriculture Network) is a long-established international forum that has brought together leading researchers and experts for more than 25 years. The event focuses on improving nutrient utilization while reducing the environmental impacts of livestock manure and other organic amendments used in agricultural systems.
During the conference, the WUR team presented a poster featuring the EcoBin app, developed with co-financing from the ECONUTRI project. The poster, titled “EcoBin: An app to predict N mineralization from organic fertilizer based on the SNOMIN model”, highlighted the app’s innovative role in predicting nitrogen mineralization from organic fertilizers.
The contribution included authors:
Hilde M. Vaessen, Bernardo Maestrini, Ayodeji O. Deolu-Ajayi, Annelies Beniers, T. Schut, K. Mildau, E. Pavlidi, M. Christopoulou, S.R. Ganschow, L. de Schutter, Annette Pronk, and Herman N.S. Berghuijs.
This work builds on the previously titled poster, “Soil Improver N Mineralization Predictor”, which presented a Farmmaps application inspired by the SNOMIN model. The updated title reflects the app’s finalized identity—EcoBin—and its practical application for nutrient management in agricultural systems.
The WUR team was delighted to engage with 350 scientists, stakeholders, and practitioners to discuss knowledge exchange opportunities and explore future collaborations that advance sustainable nutrient management.
