In this editorial, we are excited to share the latest updates from the RUSTICA project, which continues to drive innovation in the field of bio-based fertilisers and sustainable agriculture.

From groundbreaking workshops to valuable insights on policy briefs and legal overviews, and now the long-awaited RUSTICA business models per region, we are proud to highlight the project’s efforts in fostering collaboration across the sector. With key activities in various regions —from the EU to Colombia— RUSTICA is shaping the future of agricultural practices and advocating for a circular economy.

Stay tuned as we explore the progress made through regional workshops, partner activities, and significant events, including the successful RUSTICA Global Workshop and Final Conference.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N. 101000527.
