List of Session Categories with Their Descriptions
[01] Agriculture
This session addresses sustainable agricultural nitrogen management, including nutrient-use efficiency, precision agriculture, integrated crop–livestock systems, organic and legume-based farming, rotational systems, regional-scale approaches, advances in nitrogen monitoring and sensing technologies, as well as other topics, with a focus on balancing productivity and environmental protection.[02] Industry and Energy
This session explores nitrogen flows in industrial processes, cleaner production technologies, nitrogen recovery and recycling, and innovations in ammonia fuel applications. It also addresses how industrial nitrogen use and energy transitions can contribute to sustainable nitrogen management and circular economy goals.[03] Social System
Nitrogen use spans production, trade, processing, consumption, and waste management across food, industrial, and energy systems. This session explores pathways toward more sustainable social systems - reducing food loss and nitrogen leakage, improving waste and wastewater recycling, and promoting cross-sectoral resource circulation. Topics include nitrogen-use efficiency and footprint indicators, circular economy practices, and emerging consumption models such as plant-based foods that could reshape nitrogen demand and societal sustainability.[04] Water Environment
Reactive nitrogen losses (as well as depletion) affect rivers, lakes, groundwater, estuaries, and coastal waters, with ensuing human health risks. This session covers waterborne nitrogen pollution, water quality management, agricultural runoff control, eutrophication dynamics, and nutrient recovery technologies for sustainable aquatic environments.[05] Atmospheric Environment
Nitrogen oxides and ammonia emissions contribute to air pollution and other downstream environmental and human health impacts. This session focuses on emission inventories, atmospheric chemistry, deposition processes, deposition trends, monitoring and modeling approaches, and emission control measures. It aims to advance understanding and management of nitrogen’s role in air quality and environmental health.[06] Global / Cross-Sectoral Approaches
This session addresses the links between nitrogen and global environmental change, including emission mechanisms, mitigation strategies, climate–nitrogen interactions, and integrated scenarios for sustainable development. It also covers global, regional, and national nitrogen budgets and inventories, model-based assessments, and cross-sectoral analyses that connect food, energy, and climate systems.[07] Soil Health
Soils are central to nitrogen cycling, agricultural productivity and ecosystem resilience. This session is devoted to sustainable soil nitrogen management, soil fertility and organic carbon balance, microbial processes, and interactions with other environmental media. It also includes natural soils, soil restoration, and biogas residue use, with a focus on soil health as a foundation for sustainable production and ecosystem services.[08] Human Health and Ecosystem Impacts
Reactive nitrogen affects both people and nature - contributing to air and water pollution that harms human health, while driving eutrophication, acidification, and biodiversity loss in ecosystems. This session explores the disturbance of biogeochemical cycles caused by nitrogen pollution, the associated health consequences, and strategies to reduce exposure and restore ecological functions, services, and resilience. It also examines co-benefits and trade-offs between nitrogen management, human well-being, and ecosystem health.[09] Science and Policy Engagement
Effective nitrogen management requires science-based policy design and implementation. This session examines policy-relevant nitrogen monitoring and inventory systems, as well as integrated policy instruments linking agriculture, industry, and energy. Topics include nitrogen and sustainable development, holistic policy approaches, national action plans, communication challenges, and other relevant efforts aiming to bridge science, governance, and multi-level nitrogen management.[10] Economic Aspects
Economic activities drive both the benefits and costs of nitrogen use. This session examines economic and behavioral dimensions of nitrogen management, including cost–benefit analyses, life cycle assessments, green finance (“nitro-finance”), labeling and nudging strategies, and the economics of organic and circular agriculture. It aims to clarify trade-offs and synergies between economic growth, environmental protection, and sustainable nitrogen utilization.[11] Co-Creation, Communication, Culture, and Education
Addressing nitrogen challenges requires collaboration among scientists, policymakers, the private sector, civil society, farmer organizations and the general public. This session focuses on transdisciplinary approaches, stakeholder engagement, environmental education, citizen science, and communication strategies. It explores how culture, values, food traditions, and public awareness can foster sustainable nitrogen use. Innovative educational tools and indicators that encourage behavioral change and co-created solutions will be highlighted.[12] Special Thematic Sessions (open call)
The N2026 Organizing Committee invites proposals for Special Thematic Sessions addressing cross-cutting or emerging topics beyond the eleven session categories, aligned with the theme “Sustainable Nitrogen Management for Future Generations.”See details here
