Continued increases in population and economic growth, particularly in developing countries, will require commensurate increases in food production and energy demand. As a result, the consumption of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer will further increase, imposing even greater pressure on the environment.

 

In response, the International Nitrogen Initiative is helping to organize a series of events to mobilize support for its initiatives and to promote partnerships among researchers and policymakers from a variety of fields to address complex nitrogen issues.
