New fertiliser technologies for sustained food security

该项目旨在为开发下一代肥料产品提供基础研究，这些产品将提高氮素利用效率，并减少粮食生产系统中的氮素损失。它将通过一种多学科的方法来实现这一目标，该方法结合了合成和自由基化学、化学工程和土壤科学方面的专家，并得到了化肥行业合作伙伴的坚定承诺。澳大利亚社会正面临粮食安全、环境退化和气候变化的三重挑战，新的高效化肥的供应对于应对这些挑战以及澳大利亚化肥行业的竞争优势至关重要。

This project aims to provide fundamental research to develop next-generation fertiliser products that will improve nitrogen use efficiency, and reduce nitrogen losses in food production systems. It will achieve this goal through a multidisciplinary approach combining experts in synthetic and free radical chemistry, chemical engineering and soil science, with a strong commitment from a fertiliser industry partner. Society is facing the triple challenges of food security, environmental degradation and climate change The availability of new, highly-efficient fertilisers is critical for addressing these challenges, and for the competitive advantage of the Australian fertiliser industry.
