The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking with industry to make organic manures and slurries pelletisable.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

There are significant opportunities for innovation in the fertiliser sector, particularly development of newer fertilising products that are made from non-conventional materials, such as wastes. The Government has committed £120 million in funding in 2026 to trial new technologies and drive innovation in the agriculture sector including for efficient nutrient management.
