Re: Online consultation for review and comments on the zero-draft International Code of Conduct for the Use and Management of Fertilizers

Dear Rob Blakemore,

Thanks for your contribution. Indeed, there are a lot of nutrients going to waste and reuse and recycling should be high on the global agenda. We did hope to highlight this in the Fertilizer Code, however perhaps it could be strengthened? We will certainly consider adding vermicomposting to the revised draft along with other suggestions we receive in regards to recycling methods and technologies and thank you for pointing out where to include it in the document.

Dear Mhammad Asef Ghyasi,

Thank you for your comments in regards to the effects of fertilizers on food safety, human and animal health, and the environment. These are certainly the kinds of issues we are trying to address with the Fertilizer Code and your feedback is extremely valuable and welcome. 

Best regards, Debra
