Dr. Joanne Thiessen Martens, University of Manitoba, and Dr. Henry Wilson, AAFC – Brandon, are exploring the potential for developing high-phosphorus organic fertilizers by co-composting nutrient-rich organic materials like green bin/food waste with P-rich mineral waste products like struvite.
In this podcast, Jordan Marr talks with Dr. Thiessen Martens about the phosphorus problem on organic farms and how her research on recycled inputs could benefit both crop agronomy and the environment.
