This project aims to investigate management practices for use of municipal biosolids as a crop fertilizer and to quantify the effect of these practices on GHG emissions. Sustainable nutrient management requires that we investigate ways to circularize the nutrient economy, and recycling the nutrients in biosolids is an important way to do this.

The AGGP will link field-based experiments to systems models, under three distinct climatic conditions in Canada: Humid continental (Montreal), Atlantic maritime (Nova Scotia) and semi-arid Prairie (Edmonton).
