Until recently, however, there was little incentive in Estonia – including Tallinn – to sort kitchen and food service waste, as most of it was either incinerated or landfilled. At the same time, Tallinn’s waste management […]

Sustainable food production requires efficient nutrient recycling and responsible use of natural resources. Recycled fertilisers offer a concrete solution by returning nutrient-rich biomass back to crop production. The Finnish Biocycle and Biogas Association (SBB) and ProAgria have jointly developed a recycled fertiliser guide, which compiles practical information on using recycled fertilisers in arable farming. The

Biogas has emerged as a key solution for advancing energy self-sufficiency and the circular economy. Farmers play a crucial role in this transition – not only as suppliers of feedstock and users of digestate, but also as active participants from the planning stages of biogas plants. Farmer-owned biogas plants or farmer participation in centralized facilities

Biogas is a versatile form of energy, as it is used in heat and electricity production and can be refined into biomethane for fuel. Using biogas reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the process produces a nutrient-rich digestate as a byproduct, which can be used as fertilizer in its raw
