  • From rice fields to global climate solutions

    Professor Klaus Butterbach-Bahl has studied the relationship between agriculture and the climate for more than three decades how agriculture affects the climate. His research has advanced our scientific understanding of how greenhouse gases are emitted from managed ecosystems and how to reduce these emissions. His findings are based on studies of rice paddies and livestock…

  • Building the transatlantic field foundation for AgNUE

    Agricultural systems may differ across continents, climates and production systems, but many of the challenges are shared. Understanding those differences and similarities is a central part of Alex Woodley’s work within AgNUE. For Associate Professor Alex Woodley at North Carolina State University, improving agricultural sustainability begins in the field. His research focuses on how agricultural…

  • Understanding nitrogen across agricultural systems

    Meet Professor Diego Abalos, Principal Investigator of AgNUE. For Diego Abalos at the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University, understanding nitrogen dynamics is ultimately about reducing uncertainty. How nitrogen moves through soils, crops and the atmosphere remains one of the major challenges in sustainable and efficient agricultural production. Through AgNUE, Diego Abalos is leading an…

  • AgNUE officially kicked off in Copenhagen

    This week, partners from across Europe and the US gathered in Copenhagen for the official kick-off of AgNUE, marking the beginning of our international research platform focused on improving how nitrogen dynamics are understood, monitored and modelled in agricultural systems. Over three days, researchers, work package leaders and project partners came together to align the…

  • New international research platform to cut agricultural emissions by improving nitrogen use

    Launching this year, the international research platform AgNUE will over the next five years work to transform how nitrogen is managed in agriculture. The overarching goal is to reduce environmental losses without compromising crop productivity. To reach this goal, the platform will collect comprehensive data from intensively monitored field sites to improve the accuracy of…
