Developing a novel carbon negative fertiliser

粮食安全对于支持我们不断增长的人口至关重要。然而，我们越来越依赖集约化农业系统，这就需要增加化肥的使用，导致水污染和土壤退化加剧，威胁到澳大利亚的环境和粮食安全。增加土壤的碳储存能力和减少化肥的使用是恢复土壤生物支持能力和减少农业足迹的两个主要途径。这一创新和首创的项目旨在开发一种具有成本效益的负碳肥料，减少肥料投入并增加土壤碳储存

Food security is vital to support our growing population. However, our increasing reliance on intensive farming systems necessitates increased fertiliser use, leading to increased water pollution and soil degradation - threatening both the Australian environment and food security. Increasing carbon storage capacity by soil and decreasing fertiliser use are two of the primary pathways for restoring the bio-support capacity of soils and reducing farming footprints. This innovative and first-of-its-kind project aims to develop a cost-effective, carbon negative fertiliser that reduces fertiliser inputs and increases soil carbon storage
