trans4num 2025 Online General Assembly
On March 3, 2025, the trans4num consortium convened online for the General Assembly, bringing together researchers, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders to assess project progress and define the next steps toward sustainable nutrient management. The event provided an opportunity to align strategies, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate the implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) across Europe and China.
Key Themes & Discussions
The General Assembly focused on key areas that drive the success of the trans4num project:
🌱Strengthening Stakeholder Engagement at NBS Sites
Effective stakeholder engagement remains central to trans4num’s approach. The meeting reinforced the need for close collaboration with farmers, advisors, policymakers, and scientists to ensure that NBS strategies are practical, scalable, and widely adopted.
🌱Developing a Decision Support System (DSS) for Smarter Nutrient Management
A major focus of the assembly was the progress on the Decision Support System (DSS), a digital tool designed to help farmers optimize nutrient supply at the farm, regional, and watershed levels.
🌱Advancing Agent-Based Modeling for Farm-Level Decision-Making
The assembly highlighted new developments in Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) and Food System Modeling (FSM) to predict how different farming decisions impact nutrient cycles and sustainability.
🌱Scaling Up and Out: Enhancing Communication & Dissemination
A key aspect of the discussion was how to effectively communicate NBS innovations to farmers, policymakers, and researchers.
🌱Strengthening Europe-China Cooperation
As a project that bridges expertise from Europe and China, the assembly reaffirmed trans4num’s commitment to fostering international knowledge exchange.
trans4num partners are preparing for the Annual General Assembly in Denmark (June 2025) and key upcoming events, including DSS workshops and farmer discussion groups. Collaboration remains at the heart of driving systemic change in nutrient management and regenerative agriculture.
