PSP 6 in Leuven was a great event. Some of my favorite presentations:
- Astrid Oberson about how to notice that an inoculated P solubilizing microorganism didn't do better than soil-borne biota.
- Hannah Vos about Earthworms mobilizing soil P
- Moritz Hallama about how cover crops mobilize P for the main crop (meta-analysis)
- Kari Ylivainio about liming as a prerequisite to soil fertility management in acidic tropical soils.
- Ellis Hoffland trying to assess complementarity of P resource use efficiency in crop mixtures (partitioning).

I was there with our poster about P recycling fertilizers.

Currently on a 2-week exchange visit at University of Peradeniya (faculty of agriculture) funded by Erasmus Mundus for staff training. Meeting scientists to learn about waste management, nutrient recycling and organic agriculture etc. in Sri Lanka. Will give a presentation of my work too... and enjoy Durian, Mangosteen and Rambutan as it is full season right now.

Just started reading "Holistic Management", by Allan Savory.

More about it here.

I've recently bought this amazing book. Not only informative, but also beautiful. It gives an overview of solutions in terms of climate change mitigation / reversal.

One of the most motivating lectures ever!
