Nitrogen footprint tools have been developed and are being developed for numerous countries and institutions. We are pleased to announce a workshop focused on these tools!

As an official activity associated with the 7^th International Nitrogen Conference (Melbourne, Australia December 5 – 9, 2016), the N-Print project (www.n-print.org) is hosting a one-day workshop at the University of Melbourne on the development of nitrogen footprint tools. Deli Chen, Allison Leach, and Jim Galloway are organizing the event.
