Dr. Rebeca Cobos from the University of León participated in the 5th European Sustainable Phosphorus Conference (ESPC5).

The European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform, in collaboration with the BETA Technological Center, organized the ESPC5, which took place in Lleida, Spain, from October 8th to 10th, 2024. This conference explored the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the Mediterranean region.
The research team from the University of León presented the results of the SUSTEMICROP project through a poster titled: “Enhanced Phosphate Assimilation by Hop Plants Driven by Pseudomonas spp.”
The ESPC5 offered a valuable platform for experts and stakeholders to collaborate, share insights, and shape the future of sustainable phosphorus management in the Mediterranean. The discussions focused on four key areas: organic agriculture, water reuse, eutrophication and phosphorus budgeting, and the energy transition. The conference aimed to drive positive change and contribute to a more sustainable future, both for the region and beyond. The event also featured private sector experiences and the latest research on the subject, complemented by site visits to biorefinery pilot projects in the area. #sustemicrop #prima #sustainability #phosphorus
