Nitrogen use efficiency in mixed crop-livestock systems: insights for sustainable intensification

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: May 2, 2025

The development of metrics to assess the sustainability food production systems is vital for achieving sustainable global agri-food systems. Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), defined as ratio nitrogen (N) in outputs total N inputs, a key indicator resource crop and livestock This study quantified compared NUE, surplus (NSURP, inputs minus products), balance (N retained, calculated losses) across four pasture-crop rotation with varying land-use intensity, evaluated at both component (crop livestock) system levels from 2019 2022. included continuous cropping (CC), short (SR; 2-year crops + pasture), long (LR; 4-year forage (FR; pasture tall fescue). Data were primarily collected field level. Major findings showed NUE ranging 62.5% (CC) 83.8% (SR), 5.5% (FR) 24.4% 43.4% (CC). Systems pastures (SR, LR, FR) retained more soil (up 64 kg ha −1 CC (4.9 ), highlighting role nutrient retention. These component-specific differences underscore need tailored management strategies, such optimizing organic improving grazing practices, enhance guide toward “safe operating space.”

Editorial on special issues: “regional nutrient management in the circular economy” & “nitrogen and carbon recycling: benefits from the stakeholders’ perspective”

Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Nov. 16, 2024

Abstract The intensification and specialization of global agriculture has led to a nutrient surplus resulting in regional environmental issues such as eutrophication loss biodiversity due accumulation. Addressing these challenges requires shift towards circularity, inspired by the principles circular economy, create more resource-efficient agricultural system. Circular agriculture, particularly Europe, provides model for sustainable management at various scales—local, regional, national international. Existing technologies enable production fertilizers from secondary or waste streams can improve use efficiency. development market with transparency supply demand dynamics, standardized products, reliable traceability is essential effective implementation circularity. However, practical takes place on local level, significant variability environmental, economic, social conditions farm field levels differences crops management, e.g. organic farming often lower total intensity. Therefore, successful economy necessitates stronger stakeholder perspective, emphasizing importance participatory research approaches. In addition efficiency must be enhanced, broader food system evolve nutrient-efficient practices. This transformation will likely require adopting planetary health diet that promotes both sufficiency sustainability use. policy measures need provide clear regulatory framework supranational (e.g. European Union) targeting societal goals, while same time supporting locally adaptable interventions through economic incentives innovation support.
