Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phospohorous, are key part of delivering food security and sustainable development. However, excess use and inefficient practices leads to nutrient overenrichment, causing soil acidification and groundwater pollution, harmful algal blooms and dead zones in the sea, and loss of coral and sea grass cover. This booklet is a crosscutting contribution to sustainable development and global advocacy for productive discussion and action by countries and their stakeholders.

The Foundations for Sustainable Nutrient Management, a report published by the GPNM, scopes out what is important, what works, and who needs to be persuaded in shaping effective nutrient management. It recommends four main cornerstones -‘foundations’ focused around the building of a shared interest and agenda among and within countries; stakeholder engagement and partnerships; and the communication and mainstreaming of best practice tools, and integrated approaches to guide cost effective decision making. It concludes by charting how strategic action by countries – the communication and mainstreaming of key messages and best practices, prompted and supported by partnerships, stakeholder engagement and integrated approaches - can lead to effective nutrient management and the benefits this brings.
