Workshop on Mitigation Options for Nutrient Reduction in Surface Water and Groundwater

This workshop will evaluate projects in example areas across Europe to identify sustainable mitigation and land use options for improving human health and environmental quality in relation to the nutrition system and nutrients. Topics covered include life assessment, human nutrition and health, soil degradation, critical nutrient levels and loads in water bodies, atmospheric impacts, policy considerations, and EU-COST actions.

Life Assessment (LCA) exemplarily shown for N and P and the nutrition system 2. Anthroposphere: Human nutrition and human health 3. Pedosphere: Soil degradation by C,N, P, S and nutrition, soil organic matter (SOM), inorganic Phosphorus 4. Hydrosphere: 4.1 Critical C, N, P, S levels 4.2 Critical C, N, P, S loads 5. Atmosphere: Gases relevant to climate change, eutrophication, acidification, decline of bio diversity and threatening of human health 5.1 Green house gases 5.2 eutrophying and acidifying gases 5.3 Environmental aspects of bio energy production and consumption 6. Lithosphere 7. Biosphere 8. Policy: Driving and preventing forces to meet the C-, N-, P-, S -protection aims and to implement a sustainable nutrition system 9. (Non-)Sustainable legislation within the nutrition system regarding C, N, P, S 10. C, N, P, S related EU-COST-Actions C)SUMMARY: Abstract

  3. INTRODUCTION: - Goods and aims / goals of protection, - C, N, P, S pressures, - interrelations , - drivers, - the nutrition system

  4. B) RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS, DISCUSSION: Protection Aims, mitigation and adaptation options With a holistic approach protection aims / nutrient standards are set here as critical C, N, P, S levels and loads as well as for healthy human nutrition for all environmental spheres of anthroposphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere respectively, because they are necessary prerequisites for cause oriented and sufficiently mitigation and adaptation options and measures done simultaneously with special reference to the nutrition system and land use.

  5. B) RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS, DISCUSSION: -protection aims, -sustainable mitigation and land use options 1. Life Assessment (LCA) exemplarily shown for N and P and the nutrition system
