Using data from a five year period (2017-2021), researchers analysed the nitrogen contained in traded commodities in order to develop a new methodology for assessing how the element moves through supply chains. The researchers used statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN to complete the study. The report sets out the methodology and highlights the top five agricultural and aquatic imports and exports for the UK in terms of their nitrogen mass.

The planet’s capacity to support human consumption is finite, and a recent assessment reveals serious imminent threats to multiple physical and biological systems that are key to human well-being. Consumption practices must change for this pressure to ease. There is broad global agreement on the need for action.
