Ecotechnologies in agriculture for the recovery and reuse of carbon and nutrients in the Baltic Sea region

The research identifies the most common ecotechnologies used for nutrient and carbon recovery in agriculture, highlighting soil amendments, anaerobic digestion, and (vermi)composting as the most prevalent methods, with manure serving as the primary waste source.

• The most common ecotechnologies identified in the evidence base are soil amendments, anaerobic digestion, and (vermi)composting, which together account for 40.7% of the cases.
• Manure is the primary waste source for recovering carbon or nutrients, appearing in 55.4% of the studies, followed by a mix of manure and crop residues at 22%.
• While 51 studies involving 14 different ecotechnologies reported on the simultaneous recovery of carbon and nutrients—mostly through anaerobic digestion and (vermi)composting—only 27 studies specifically addressed the reuse of these recovered elements via soil amendments.
