SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES ARE KEY
A major solution to the problem of eutrophication is the adoption of more sustainable farming practices. This includes methods focused on keeping nutrients and water on land, utilizing fertilizers more efficiently, and reducing runoff. Together with farmers and other experts across the region, WWF has identified a number of key sustainable farming practices that make a difference. Here, you can read about these practices and learn from the real-life experiences of the farmers who are implementing them.
WATER
Practices that control water movement can help retain water and capture nutrients by forming areas for flood water and storage for irrigation.
NUTRIENTS
Practices that monitor the amount, timing, and methods of fertilization are key to reducing nutrient losses and improving nutrient use efficiency.
