Online Event: "Less, better, and circular use – how to get rid of surplus nitrogen without endangering food security"

The report shows that the dependency of our food system on fossil fuel-based fertilizers led to a devastating impact on the environment, while 85 to 95% of fertilizers applied to the soil are lost. The webinar will cover:

• The impact of the excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers.
• The relation between fertilizer use, dependence on fossil fuels, and food security.
• Working and not-working solutions to reduce excess nitrogen use.

Speakers:

• Dr. Adrian Müller, Department of Food System Sciences, Research Institute of Organic Agriculture, FiBL
• Lisa Tostado, Agrochemicals and Fossil Fuels Campaigner, Center for International Environmental Law, CIEL
