Présentation

Public and political awareness of the dangers of nitrogen pollution are increasing rapidly. A growing number of countries are committed to improving nitrogen management, including the implementation of sustainable nitrogen roadmaps to reduce nitrogen waste by 50% by 2030, as outlined in the Colombo Declaration and the EU Farm to Fork Strategy. But what will these roadmaps look like? What policies and measures to address N pollution have already shown to be successful in different parts of the world and what new approaches could match the ambition embodied in new policy goals? This workshop will bring together an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars, stakeholders and policy experts to explore these questions and propose a coherent approach for developing national roadmaps for sustainable nitrogen management.
