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 will study 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.
