The KIVI Department of Sustainable Technology, together with Wageningen University & Research, is organising a lecture series on agricultural transition and nitrogen problems. The focus is on technology and possible solutions around farms for clean (surface) water, less harmful emissions and restoration of nature in the Netherlands. These are complex issues that require solutions for earning models for farmers and chain parties. Here, it is important that we talk about concepts that cover the load and do not deny problems, but together find a way out.

It is a large playing field for which solutions must be found and in which deniers cannot dabble.
