The Scientific Panel on Responsible Plant Nutrition (SPRPN) is a group of scientists contributing their expertise to support the fertilizer industry’s efforts to solve the global issues it faces. The Panel has recently published its first issue brief, called A New Paradigm for Plant Nutrition (https://bit.ly/3uaolGO), which describes their vision for transitions in the practice of plant nutrition.

IFA Chief Scientist Dr. Achim Dobermann sat down with SPRPN Chair Dr. Tom Bruulsema and member Dr. Pytrik Reidsma to find out more about the New Paradigm, including some of the key issues the Panel identified that need better solutions, and some it's main objectives, from nutrient recovery and recycling to nutrition-sensitive agriculture.
