Inflation, Ukraine war, the shortage of fuel and gas supply, Brexit, food security and climate change, we address these challenges by enhancing a brand new patent pending biotechnology based process that can improve the current organic fertiliser manufacturing process effectively, reduce the reliance on natural gas, and improve food production with lower cost.In this application, we will explain why and how the enzyme technology could do what it claims to deliver. The claims will be tested by our partner research organisation: The Biorenewables Development Centre (BDC). A Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) will be carried out by top UK Agricultural University: Harper Adams University (HAU, subcontractor to LOHAS Recycling) to see the sustainability of the enzyme-based process.Organic agricultural waste, such as livestock manure, contains valuable nutrients for plants' growth, especially poultry manure, its balanced blend of nutrients, as a perfect feedstock to manufacture organic-based fertiliser, that is suitable for a wide range of crops and leafy plants and vegetables. However, without the effective and sustainable technology and process to manage and treat the poultry, the bio-based material brings negative environmental impacts, such as ammonia emission, GHG emission and river pollution.Previous work has been done on processing the poultry manure from a random choice of farms in England and Mid Wales, including broiler farms and egg farms. The output from the enzyme-based process has been tested for its safety (free from pathogens) by Sci-Tech, and its nutrient content and organic matter comparing before and after the process by NRM. The 12 months self-funded tests and trials have supported our application and our process in treating animal by product: poultry manure, has been successfully approved by Animal and Plant Health Agent as a new method.We have also carried out a commercial project with HAU on the broccoli growth trials to test our novel fertiliser. The results are positive: stable chemical form, rich in organic matter, odourless after field application (because it is fully fermented), perform well in combination with synthetic fertiliser for the best Nitrogen Usage Efficiency, but maintaining the yield.This call offers an opportunity for the UK science research and innovation base collaborate to address the challenges. We aim to turn the challenge of problematic manure feedstock into golden opportunities with the unique enzyme technology for a more resilient and sustainable UK organic-based fertiliser manufacturing industry.

通货膨胀，乌克兰战争，燃料和天然气供应短缺，英国脱欧，粮食安全和气候变化，我们通过加强一个全新的专利申请中的生物技术为基础的过程，可以有效地改善目前的有机肥料制造过程，减少对天然气的依赖，并以更低的成本提高粮食生产来应对这些挑战。在这个应用中，我们将解释酶技术为什么以及如何做到它所声称的。这些声明将由我们的合作伙伴研究机构：生物可再生能源开发中心（BDC）进行测试。英国顶尖的农业大学将进行一项长期评估（LCA）：哈珀亚当斯大学（HAU，乐活循环的分包商）了解酶基工艺的可持续性。有机农业废物，如牲畜粪便，含有对植物生长有价值的营养素，特别是家禽粪便，其营养素的平衡混合，是制造有机基肥料的完美原料，适用于各种农作物、叶类植物和蔬菜。然而，如果没有有效和可持续的技术和工艺来管理和处理家禽，生物基材料会带来负面的环境影响，如氨排放，温室气体排放和河流污染。先前的工作已经完成，处理来自英格兰和威尔士中部随机选择的农场的家禽粪便，包括肉鸡农场和鸡蛋农场。从酶为基础的过程的输出已测试其安全性（无病原体）由科技，其营养成分和有机物比较前后的过程由NRM。经过12个月的自筹资金测试和试验，我们的应用得到了支持，我们处理动物副产品家禽粪便的工艺已成功获得动植物卫生署的批准，成为一种新方法。我们还与HAU合作开展了一个西兰花生长试验的商业项目，以测试我们的新型肥料。结果是积极的：化学形态稳定，富含有机质，田间施用后无气味（因为它是完全发酵的），与合成肥料结合使用时表现良好，可获得最佳的氮利用效率，但保持产量。这一呼吁为英国科学研究和创新基地合作应对挑战提供了机会。我们的目标是通过独特的酶技术将有问题的粪肥原料的挑战转化为黄金机遇，以实现更有弹性和可持续的英国有机肥料制造业。
