Learn about #nitrogen @ 2PM!🚨

#ORFCGlobal's panel “Nitrogen: The Global Farming Challenge” – chaired by @JoLewisSA - will outline the scale of the nitrogen challenge for #farming, discuss global actions to reduce nitrogen excess at #COP26 & more

Tune in orfc.org.uk/session/nitrog…

Listening to Mark Sutton @UK_CEH explain the issues:

“The scaling up of nitrogen happened, and it got cheaper, which has meant people aren’t as careful with it as they should be. Everybody has an opportunity to manage nitrogen more responsibly”

#COP26 #ORFCGlobal

Vijay Kumar talks about his work with over 1m farmers in Andhra Pradesh, India, reducing synthetic #nitrogen & other inputs. Women farmers often lead the work, influencing 1 farmer at a time.

Results? Better health of soil, people & crops.
Inspiring in scale, approach & impact.

Keesje Avis (@nourishscotland & @Farming1point5) says “Culture change has to happen throughout the system. It’ll take time & needs support but there is an opportunity for huge change”.

She adds “Wouldn’t it be amazing if Scotland was organic like Andhra Pradesh!”
#COP26

What a panel🙏
