Transformation for sustainable nutrient supply and management

Abstract

The overarching ambition of trans4num is to substantiate and broadly promote the nature-based solutions (NBS) approach for sustainable agricultural practices in Europe and China with a particular focus on nutrient management (bio-based nutrient sources, sustainable crop rotations, integrated management practices). To do so, trans4num will develop and implement a social-ecological transformation (SET) approach tailored for the inter- and transdisciplinary research on NBS for a more sustainable nutrient management in regions with intensive farming systems.

In particular, trans4num will:

  • Develop a disaggregated understanding of NBS potentials for achieving sustainable agricultural practices;
  • Understand and analyse the complex interdependencies of applying NBS;
  • Develop a dynamic, smart nutrient management tool to support decision-making for optimal nutrient supply;
  • Assess the (net) impact of technological and social innovations as well as policies related to NBS.
