Sustainable Food Production and Nutrient Management Fritz Glauser Board Member for Europe Sustainable Food Production and Nutrient Management WFO GA Zambia 4. Mai 2015

Sustainability and Efficiency Sustainability = Economic+Environment+Social prices, cost management, investment Soil in good condition for future generations, no overuse of natural recources Income of farmers, similar to local population, keep people farming

Sustainability and Efficiency Possible measures: Economic calculation of efficiency in long term Good agricultural praxis Label production with high quality standards for more added value Production in partnership «producer-consumer» short food chain with better prices for both …

Higher production and gain Use of pesticides, fertilizers, energy, … Dilemma Higher production and gain Use of pesticides, fertilizers, energy, … Protection of environment, bees, water Restrictions and controls by government Expectations of the society

Example «Tillage» Tillage as usual  Risk of erosion Direct seeding without tillage Glyphosate needed There is no perfect solution We cannot have it all

Approaches Back to closed cycles of nutrients Getting less dependent on energy Manuer from the farm Crop rotation Leguminoses, intercrops Useful Insects against pests
