Nitrogen is a critical component of the economy, food security, and planetary health. Many of the world's sustainability targets hinge on global nitrogen solutions, which, in turn, contribute lasting benefits for: (i) world hunger; (ii) soil, air and water quality; (iii) climate change mitigation; and (iv) biodiversity conservation. Balancing the projected rise in agricultural nitrogen demands while achieving these 21 century ideals will require policies to coordinate solutions among technologies, consumer choice, and socioeconomic transformation.
氮是经济、粮食安全和地球健康的关键组成部分。世界上许多可持续发展目标都依赖于全球氮解决方案，而这些解决方案反过来又为以下方面带来持久益处：（i）全球饥饿问题；（ii）土壤、空气和水质；（iii）缓解气候变化；以及（iv）生物多样性保护。在实现这些21世纪理想目标的同时，平衡预计增长的农业氮需求将需要政策来协调技术、消费者选择和社会经济转型之间的解决方案。
