Transformation for sustainable nutrient supply and management (Trans4num) is a project of EU-China international cooperation on nature-based solutions for nutrient management in agriculture.

Trans4num has a focus on nutrient management (bio-based nutrient sources, sustainable crop rotations, optimization of nutrient flows) and aims to: 1) develop a differentiated understanding of NBS potentials for achieving sustainable agricultural practices, 2) study the complexities of applying NBS, 3) develop a dynamic and smart nutrient management tool to support regional decision making for optimum nutrient supply, and 4) assess the (net) impact of technological and social innovations as well as policies related to NBS.

The kick-off event of Trans4num took place in February 21-23, 2023 at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany. The objective of the event was to define a timeline of activities of the project and to understand views on future cooperation. Furthermore, the partners of the project presented their teams and work.
