Today I had the pleasure of being asked to address the US EPA to present work on Long Term Changes in the Phosphorus Cycle, work which had arisen from our work published here in Nature Communications.
I was encoraged and grateful for the attendance and the level of interest shown and the degree of comprehension and acceptence of the scale of the problem. We discussed issues such as the magnitude of the problem, the long term phosphorus sustainability issue and how we might attempt to mitigate the problems through better use of soil phosphorus and managing the delivery of the phosphorus.
Lots of work to do but spreading the word, slowly but surely.....
