Are you interested in a sustainable waste management and food production? Do you want to get theoretical and practical knowledge on technologies for using resources in waste? Recirculating nutrients, energy and organic matter give a more sustainable approach towards resources required in society. The course Safe nutrient recycling will give you in-depth knowledge about technologies for a safe reuse of resources in waste and understanding on how to evaluate these systems regarding e.g. applicability, microbial safety and environmental impact.
Application code = SLU-20122; Course code = MX0131. Deadline for the application: April 19, 2022.
All societies will generate waste and all societies need resources for food production as plant nutrients, energy, water and feed. By utilising the resource in waste in a circular manner there is a potential to decrease the need for fossil resources and prevent environmental pollution.
To find solutions, both novel and ones adapted to the current societal infrastructure, requires knowledge about technologies and processes but also require tools for evaluating the applicability for a system in a certain context.
In this course, in addition to lectures, there is practical laboratory work, field visits and calculation exercises and of course interesting discussions that will give you a deeper understanding of the treatment processes.
If you are interested in circular systems striving for more sustainable waste management and food production with minimised environmental impact, this is a course for you! Hope to see you in the autumn!
