I had the chance to give a lecture about minerals in soils in the frame of the NAHR Salon 2026. Thanks to Ilaria for the opportunity!

This was the title of a spontaneous poster, which I presented at the conference of the Danube region in Tulln, 16.09.2025. About my own experiments with a compost toilet, hands on recycling dealing with the most nutritive resources we all happen to produce every day.  In early 2024 I started a Facebook group called "Trockentoiletten in Österreich", with the aim to gather like-minded people in Austria interested in the topic, with a focus on going full cycle. Not sure how it will end, me not being very active on social media. But a start is a start!  Apart of the fact that soil alone will not solve the CO2 emission crisis, I liked the movie https://kissthegroundmovie.com/ 2. December 2019: my PhD Defense! "Nutrient recycling, and testing methods for diverse fertilizers" The crowning of 5 years of work at BOKU's Institute of Soil Research. Looking back, it's been such a rewarding time. The research was exciting, and it's been so enriching to work in a team for 5 years: my supervisors, the master, bachelor and trainee students, the rhizosphere ecology (Rhizo) group, the FERTI-MINE project team, and all other the people I've worked or interacted with.  The defense ended well (!) with french cider, chocolate truffles & salted butter caramels. Big thanks to all who attended, and those who prepared this great wish card & present!  I am now part of the LEX4BIO, Horizon 2020 project at BOKU! "Optimizing bio-based fertilisers in agriculture”. EU Horizon 2020 project to provide a knowledge-base on bio-based fertilisers, collect regional nutrient stock, flow, surplus and deficiency data, assess technological solutions, and develop a toolkit for use of bio-based fertilisers and for their environmental impacts. Objectives are to optimise the usage of bio-based fertilisers from nutrient-rich side-streams, ensure their safety, build evidence-based trust in their usage and develop the legislative framework.
