trans4num
Transformation for sustainable nutrient supply and management
About project
Nature-based solutions in agriculture can help with climate change adaptation and disaster-risk reduction. Solutions include restoration, improved land management, carbon storage and conservation. In this context, the EU-funded trans4num project studies nutrient management techniques like bio-based fertilisers, sustainable crop rotations and optimisation of nutrient flows. To ensure that the findings are used to support decision-making for optimum nutrient supply, the project will develop and implement a social-ecological transformation approach with multiple stakeholder participation at the farm, landscape and food system level by testing 20 nature-based solutions in seven regions with intensive farming systems. The overall aim is to bring together experience, expertise and knowledge across different fields, technologies and disciplines from 22 partners in Europe and China.

trans4num presents the Danish NBS site
DocumentJul 25, 2024-- Elena Claudia Ion
trans4num is a Horizon European-funded project under the EU-China international cooperation on Nature-Based Solutions for Nutrient Management in agriculture call. The overall objective of the project is to develop and test innovative NBS practices and pathways that contribute to a socio-ecological transformation of extensive agriculture systems towards and increasingly sustainable nutrient management. The present Factsheet presents the story of the Danish NBS Site whose main focus is to explore changes in crop rotation and to better understand the solutions needed to use the grass biomass for biorefinery purposes.

trans4num is a Horizon Europeproject funded under the EU-China international cooperation on Nature-Based Solutions for Nutrient Management in Agriculture call. The overall objective of the project is to develop and test innovative NBS practices and pathways that contribute to a socio-ecological transformation of extensive agriculture systems towards an increasingly sustainable nutrient management. The present Factsheet focuses on the progress made by the Hungarian NBS site describing important nutrient management-related challenges. On the experimental farm and beyond, the potential of the selected NBS is explored through field trials, modelling approaches and invited expertise.
