Workshop to focus on sustainable use of nitrogen in food production

Optimising nitrogen usage has a vital role to play in efficient, sustainable farming, according to 350 international scientists and policy makers gathered for the International Nitrogen Workshop.

Having opened yesterday in Wexford Opera House, this is the first time the four-day international conference has been hosted in Ireland.

Organised by Teagasc and the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Northern Ireland, this conference takes place every two to three years.
