Great day at @EnergyinAgri show last week discussing our on going research @ucdagfood into using sheep wool as an alternative fertiliser
Delighted to speak at @EnergyinAgri show on alternative fertilisers & our project #ReNu2Cycle @INTERREG_NWE. A great conversation with @Gary_DGillespie, @GeraghtyWIT, John Brennan @ballymurry & chaired by Kevin Fagan @NatOrgSkill. Fantastic to see the simple bioreactor in person

Early days with plenty of work do be done on this yet, but could help Irish farmers combat both low #wool prices and high #fertiliser prices @pippa_hackett @farmersjournal @SiobhWalsh1 @Sus_MDPI
Really interesting assessment by @Gary_DGillespie on the possibility to extract fertiliser nutrients from sheep’s wool by hydrolysis https://t.co/UJc5fwo74k next stage is to trial this. @ucdagfood @UCDBioFoodEng @IFAA_eire @CONSUS_UCD
