We often say that food waste is phosphorus waste. If we want to realize a more circular economy for nutrients, we have to collect and process food waste to create composts, digestates and other materials that cycle back through the food production system. youtu.be/QoCDb58lTtc?...

Phosphate rock has been added to the USGS critical minerals list. The real consequences are unclear, but the idea is to buttress US supplies of the mineral through streamlined (federal) permitting, trade policy and other measures. www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/...

EPA has released its latest (and last?) inventory of anaerobic (co)digesters for food waste in the US. 313 opportunities for sustainably recycling phosphorus! www.biocycle.net/anaerobic-di...

That's a lot of phosphorus. Someday people won't believe we just dumped untreated manure into the environment, in the same way we now cringe at the thought of doing the same with human waste.

Don't tell anyone, but we're starting to leak videos from our Phosphorus Forum on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?lis... The best way to be notified is to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

US EPA has canceled grants related to PFAS transport through soils. Biosolids and composts can be contaminated with PFAS, so understanding how these compounds move after being applied to soils is critical to the responsible recycling of nutrients. www.mainepublic.org/environment-...

On my way home from an enriching #Phosphorus Forum @ncstate.bsky.social. It’s very rewarding to lead @sustainablep.bsky.social to deliver this annual event and esp to collaborate w @steps-stc.bsky.social to build the program. Let’s keep the momentum up.

In this short video feature, Dr. Helen Jarvie shares what we’ve learned—and what remains unresolved—after studying the River Thames’s nutrient data over 150 years. Spoiler: Legacy phosphorus and new threats still complicate the path to cleaner water. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSAi...

There's an organic P conference happening next month in Canada. op2026.com

Fertilizer is expensive, why apply more than you need? Lily Kile’s research at NCSU unpacks why farmers often disregard soil test results & apply excess phosphorus. The answer? It's more complicated than you might think. Watch now: tinyurl.com/sustainp

We are excited to introduce our latest member, Novaphos! Novaphos technologies are modernizing production of phosphates in ways not seen for decades. Learn more about them in our blog:

150 years of data. An iconic river, a phosphorus story worth telling. The Thames has the world’s longest continuous P record. Dr. Jarvie shows how changes in land use and management practices shaped P loads over time—& why algal blooms remain a persistent challenge. Watch here: tinyurl.com/2tkf5yjy

In our latest blog post, Chad Penn explores how excessive phosphorus uptake can actually reduce corn yields by disrupting the plant's nutrient balance. Using a soil-free system, this study examines how P interacts with other nutrients in the plant. Read our blog:

Nearly 2 million tons of phosphorus fertilizer is needed annually in the U.S. to produce our food. No phosphorus, no food. #Pweek25

Where do your bones come from? Phosphorus builds bones and comes from our diets. P is the 6th most abundant element in the human body. #PWeek2025

The phosphorus value chain winds through many different stakeholder groups. Everyone has a part to play in conserving and recycling our P resources. #PWeek2025

Phosphorus sustainability is essential to addressing world hunger and maintaining crop yields. YOU can play a role in improving P sustainability in your business and everyday life. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V3A... #PWeek2025

Phosphorus plays a role in your daily life. Learn about the “12 Steps for a More P-Efficient You” to help us conserve phosphorus resources and protect water from phosphorus pollution in your home. We can all help! Here are twelve things you can do: phosphorusalliance.org/get-involved... #PWeek2025

Sustainable phosphorus management practices include optimizing fertilizer usage in agriculture, recovering P from waste streams, & implementing erosion control measures. With these, we can conserve P resources, reduce environmental pollution, & ensure long-term agricultural productivity. #PWeek2025

We're thrilled that the States of WI, IL, and NC (hopefully more to come) have officially embraced our effort to designate the 15th week of the year as Phosphorus Week. This will raise awareness about P sustainability issues & the great work that many organizations are doing! #PWeek2025

Did you know phosphorus is essential for life? EVERY living thing needs P to survive! You’ll find P in DNA, RNA, cell membranes, and more. #PWeek2025

Phosphorus is a finite resource- we can’t create more of it, so management decisions are critical. Interestingly, P only forms in certain novae and supernovae in space. #PWeek2025
