   Author : Ludwig Peter Stephan; [2022]
   Keywords : on-farm composting; reductive composting; regenerative agriculture; microbial carbonisation; mikrobielle carbonisierung; greenhouse gas emissions;

   Abstract : The search for agronomic solutions to the decline of soil health, open-ended nutrient cycles and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, against the background of impending climate change, were motivations for this thesis. A composting trial on a Swedish farm was designed to find answers to the overarching research question of how feasible and climate-friendly on-farm composting using Microbial Carbonisation (MC) is, compared to conventional windrow composting (CC).
