CALL FOR PAPERS

RAMIRAN 2015

16th International Conference Rural-Urban Symbiosis

8 – 10 September 2015

Hamburg, Germany

 

Dear Colleague,

Agriculture produces bioresources for food and increasingly also for material and energy provision. The majority of agro-products are used in urban areas where they are connected with waste and wastewater generation. On the one hand, these residues are actually disposed or inefficiently treated, on the other they have value for agricultural production.

 

RAMIRAN 2015 is focusing on closing the loop linking rural production and urban consumption systems and on the development of more sustainable solutions for the handling of residues.

 

Topics

•Fertilizers from residues

•Soils for the future

•Advances in emission prevention

•The bioresource challenge

•Agro-products for the biobased economy

•Smart concepts for rural development

•Towards zero waste settlements

•Rural-urban sustainability cases studies world wide

 

Abstract submission

Deadline for abstract submission is 15 December 2014. We invite you to prepare abstracts according to the information given at:
