Promoting soil and nutrient management that improves nitrogen-use efficiency helps cut emissions from synthetic fertilizers. Governments can use regulations and incentives to encourage farmers to employ the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Framework, which promotes sustainable application of nutrients. In addition, they can implement schemes that provide regular ‘green payments’ to reward farmers for planting cover crops that reduce nutrient loss.
