FAO Science and Innovation Forum: INNOVATIONS IN SOIL AND PLANT NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
Harnessing science, technology and innovation for transforming our agrifood systems
SPECIAL EVENT ORGANIZED BY THE GLOBAL SOIL PARTNETRSHIP | LAND AND WATER DIVISION (NSL)
The soil fertility status is the fundamental building block on which all agricultural production systems are built. The sustainable improvement of soil fertility and nutrient imbalances prevention will make it possible to increase food prodution and agrifood systems’ resilience to climate change while contributing to the mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHG) and reducing other externalities of agricultural activities such as environmental pollution.
This event builds on the discussions and outcomes of the Global Symposium on Soils for Nutrition organized by FAO in July 2022. It highlights innovations in soil and plant nutrient management that contribute to optimizing resource use, improving the nutritional value of food and maximizing crop productivity, while minimizing negative impacts on land, soil, water and the environment, contributing to a circular economy and nutrient recycling.
