Clover grass for biogas enables farm gate nitrogen balance in organic farming

Summary in the original language of the document

Organic plant production relies predominantly on manure from organic and conventional livestock systems as source of reactive nitrogen. This dependency restricts the potential growth of the organically cultivated area where livestock density is low. Alternatively, utilizing clover grass fields offers a major source of reactive nitrogen. Yet, clover grass fields are predominantly embedded in farming systems with ruminant livestock, which limits their implementation in areas with low livestock density
