Are you going to the N workshop 2024
N workshop is on 17-21 June 2024 in Aarhus - deadline for submission of abstract: 15 March 2024
In 2024, Aarhus University has the honor of hosting the next N Workshop
Join us for five exciting days, where we will work towards resolving the global nitrogen dilemma.How do we reconcile the need for sufficient N inputs to ensure crop productivity and human nutrition, while decreasing N losses leading to environmental pollution and associated threats to food security and ecosystem health?
We will address these global issues in six regular and at least three special sessions, together with seven interesting keynotes and two roundtables, and the opportunity to visit field trials and research facilities.
Sessions
- How to increase nitrogen use efficiency Reducing nitrogen losses
- Nitrogen recycling
- Incentives for good nitrogen management
- Food systems
- Livestock in agricultural systems from a nitrogen perspective
- Special session: Nitrogen Communication
- Special session: Nitrogen in organic farming – improving availability and reducing losses
