Nutrient Cycling for Sustainable and Resilient Agriculture

The complex and interconnected interactions of natural ecosystems are a great source of inspiration for new ways to build sustainability into traditional industries. Nutrient cycling is one of these natural phenomena, which has enormous promise for sustainable nutrition management in agriculture. Not only does the process of nutrient cycling support the health and fertility of ecosystems, but it also provides important insights that can help us develop resilient and sustainable agricultural systems . In ecosystems, vital substances including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and various micronutrients are continuously regenerated through the process of nutrient cycling. This process entails the cyclical transformation, transfer, and utilization of these nutrients by various species and abiotic forces. Nutrient cycling supports the complex web of life in ecosystems, through the breakdown of organic matter and the uptake and release of nutrients by microbes and plants to the soil. Natural nu...
