21 OUR STRATEGIES TO MORE SUSTAINABILITY FOR N CYCLING RELATED TO FOOD PRODUCTION 1 Smarter diets, healthy lifestyle Healthier diets Less animal products Less waste Smart intensification Smart extensification Resource (land, feed, nutrient) efficiency Closing yield gap, reducing waste Higher margins Less impacts: Animal welfare, human health, odour, landscape Close nutrient cycles Start with focussing on healthy soils Within their surroundings (losses, emissions, climate) Improve soil and Biological Nitrogen Fixation Improve soil quality and functioning Increasing BNF in agriculture Crop rotations Van Grinsven et a Erisman et al. 201
