Regional Working Group (RWG)
Overview:
Spain’s RWG works across the whole country to capture the diversity of its farming and food industries. Research centres in Catalonia, Castile and León and other regions join with public bodies, co-operatives, farmers and community organisations to find better ways of reusing by-products and reducing waste. By pooling expertise from across Spain, the group creates a unique platform for testing new soil improvers and fertilisers and for linking local projects with national strategies. This broad reach helps Spain’s RWG drive innovation at many levels, from small pilot actions to country-wide initiatives.

DeliSoil Practice Abstract – Spain
Farmers and industries that produce agricultural or food processing waste have the potential to convert waste streams into high-quality bio-based fertilizers (BBFs) using a variety of technologies. This guideline helps identify the most suitable waste streams, allowing stakeholders to choose the most efficient technologies for their specific materials.
