Humans need food. Humans use energy. Production of food and combustion of fossil fuels increase concentrations of biologically active nitrogen (BAN) in the atmosphere, soils, and surface and ground waters of the earth. These increases are caused in part by agricultural practices aimed primarily at increasing food production – use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers, widespread planting of N-fixing legumes, increased demand for animal protein in human diets, and increased use of fossil fuels. The world's crops, forests, and fisheries respond to N enrichment with some positive benefits (e.g., increased food, feed, timber, and fish production) and some negative consequences (e.g., acidification and eutrophication of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, decreased biodiversity, increased regional haze, global warming, and such human health impacts as nitrate contamination of drinking water and increased pulmonary and cardiac disease caused by exposure to toxic ozone and fine particulate matter). So far, most pollution abatement strategies have aimed at resolving one or another air or water pollution problem in which oxidized or reduced forms of N play an important part. The time has come to consider more fully integrated strategies by which N management practices can be optimized to increase agricultural, forest, and fish production while decreasing N-induced soil-, air-, and water pollution. Contemporary challenges and opportunities facing animal agriculture in the United States today include joining with EPA, animal industry, university, and other scientists and policy makers in: 1) making realistic assessments of actual positive and negative impacts of N emissions from animal agriculture, and 2) developing practical (economic) guidelines and strategies for: a) improving nutrient conversion efficiency in poultry, egg, swine, cattle, dairy, 1 Invited contribution to a symposium on Animal Production and the Environment: Challenges and Solutions.
