2021 session of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice
The in-session workshop on improved nutrient use and manure management towards sustainable and resilient agricultural systems was held in conjunction with the fifty-first sessions of the subsidiary bodies. Experts from Parties, international organizations, the private sector, research organizations, civil society and constituted bodies under the Convention as well as farmers presented key opportunities and challenges and engaged in in-depth discussion on the potential and co-benefits of nutrient use and manure management, including on synergies and trade-offs in relation to addressing other pollution resulting from these activities. The workshop provided the opportunity to begin discussing options for increasing synergy and collaboration among stakeholders, while highlighting that farmers must be at the centre of all discussions and decision-making on climate change, agriculture, nutrient use and manure management.
