Nitrous oxide has 298 times the warming effect of carbon dioxide. In Gelderland agriculture, these emissions are linked to fertiliser, manure, soils and the share of nutrients that crops do not take up. That makes nutrient management a direct climate issue, not only an agronomic detail.
The relevant lever is better matching the source, dose, timing and placement of nutrients. When crops absorb more of what is applied, losses and emissions fall. This connects climate gains with water quality, soil life and more efficient input use, while requiring better management rather than a completely new technology pathway.
