ESR 14 - Egor Moshkin                  

United Experts

ESRs from FertiCycle and ReFlow joined forces to tap into networks of both consortiums and maximize the research output. Sergio Garmendia Lemus (ReFlow/ELO) and Egor Moshkin (FertiCycle/United Experts) teamed up to conduct a widespread farmer survey across EU. The aim of the survey is twofold: 1) to identify the reasons behind the decisions to adopt or not adopt new bio-based fertilisers, and 2) to quantify the value that farmers assign to newly developed bio-based fertilisers. The aspects of the survey are complementary and promise to provide sufficient data that would help answering several research questions.

With the extensive network of contacts of European Landowners Organisation and deep market knowledge of United Experts as well as guidance from University of Ghent, the researchers aim to survey farmers in majority of EU countries in order to generate knowledge and market insights that will facilitate further development of sustainable strategies for the future of fertilisers and agriculture in Europe.
