Closing Event of the BIOSMARTFERT Project: Innovation for Sustainable Agriculture January 27, 2026, Research Area of Pisa, Via Moruzzi 1, Pisa, Room 27 PRIN: PROGETTI DI RICERCA DI RILEVANTE INTERESSE NAZIONALE – Bando 2022 Prot. 20225WLFFR BIOpolymers from agri-food waste digestates for SMART release bioFERTilisers BIOSMARTFERT 12/10/2023-28/02/2026 The BIOSMARTFERT Project concludes with an event dedicated to presenting its results and future perspectives for smarter and more environmentally friendly agriculture. Project Objective: BIOSMARTFERT has developed a new generation of controlled release biofertilizers(SMART Release Fertilisers
The BIOSMARTFERT project marks an important milestone: the successful extraction of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) produced by bacteria fed with digestates derived from the “dark fermentation” of agri-food waste. This extraordinary result opens the path for a revolutionary innovation: the encapsulation and coating of granular fertilizers with extracted PHAs, to give life to a controlled release intelligent biofertilizer. Agronomic trials with lettuce and tomato will also begin soon; they are essential to demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of this innovative and sustainable solution for
