Proposals should build on existing and new knowledge, data, models (including in situ calibration measurement), artificial intelligence and tools to:

• Optimise and harmonise nutrient and water flow models, indicators and data for quantification and assessment to prevent or reduce environmental pollution caused by nutrients, across sectors, for different types of agricultural practices (conventional, organic and agro-ecological agriculture), and scales – farm, local, regional and river basin.
• Explore and assess safe alternative nutrient sources and pathways (e.g. organic vs inorganic), enhance management and recycling of organic wastes and explore nutrient recovery opportunities (e.g. by using treated sewage sludge or wastewater) as well as nutrient mobilisation through microorganisms;
• Enhance nutrient use efficiency at different levels.
• Analyse climate change effects of certain nutrient flows, including interactions between nutrient, water and carbon cycles.
• Develop biological models for nutrients flows remote sensing tools, in agricultural systems: for physical, chemical and biological parameters, using smart sensors and AI technologies.
• Develop digital platforms to allow precision nutrient management at farm scale and landscape scale.
