FEB 14, 2024
The “Gross Nutrient Balance” AEI workshop provided a comprehensive overview of the methodology and data essential for computing the EU indicator Gross Nutrient Balance (GNB) for Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) within the national agricultural landscape. Delving into the intricacies of nutrient management, the workshop equipped participants with the necessary tools and understanding to assess nutrient flows and their impacts on agricultural sustainability. Through detailed presentations and hands-on exercises, attendees gained insights into calculating GNB, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding nutrient management practices. By elucidating the significance of GNB as a key indicator for monitoring nutrient cycles and environmental health, the workshop facilitated the integration of sound nutrient management strategies into agricultural policymaking and practice.
