UK agriculture is entirely dependent on P imports of fertilisers, feeds and foods, which are becoming increasingly volatile in cost.
Phosphorus is also an endemic water pollutant due to inefficiencies across multiple scales in the food chain. This project aims to enhance the resilience and sustainability of the UK food system by developing adaptive strategies that will reduce the vulnerability of UK farming to future P shocks and optimise the provision of ecosystem services linked to water quality.
