The Nitrogen Opportunity: Investable Pathways to Reduce N₂O and N Losses on Agricultural Lands

​Only ~15% of nitrogen added to cropland makes it all the way from farm to fork. It escapes as N₂O, a greenhouse gas roughly 273x more potent than CO₂, or as runoff that pollutes waterways. Agriculture is the single largest driver of these problems, which also makes it a critical sector for driving change through advocacy, policy, and investment. ​It's possible to make real progress on more sustainable nitrogen management: there are clear pathways toward mitigating emissions and cutting pollution, while improving farmer profitability. To move from the possible to the actual, focused action is needed. ​This event is designed as a guide to the key advocacy and funding opportunities to transform agricultural N management and demonstrate reductions in N₂O emissions. ​Join Taylor Geospatial, The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Spark Climate Solutions, the International Nitrogen Network (iN-Net), and the GHG Coalition at the Data Foundation in partnership with PACT, for a focused discussion on the global policy levers we can pull today and the highest-impact places for agricultural nitrogen and N₂O R&D investment.
