Fertilizer Australia paper: Nitrogen Fertiliser Use and Greenhouse Gases – An Australian Assessment

Fertilizer Australia commissioned a white paper to support policymakers' decision-making on potential ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from nitrogen fertiliser while protecting Australia’s soil health and agricultural industry.

The white paper, titled Nitrogen Fertiliser Use and Greenhouse Gases – An Australian Assessment, was independently written by Dr Robert Norton, Dr Cameron Gourley and Professor Peter Grace.

Key recommendations promote reducing emissions through the use of technology and improved farming practices that, combined, increase Nitrogen Use Efficiency, rather than reducing fertiliser input.

Fertilizer Australia has also produced a white paper Executive Summary that communicates the white paper's contents in a concise, easy to read, form.
