On three iconic UK research farms, the trans4num project is putting circular fertilisers, diversified rotations and cover-crop strategies to the test — tackling nutrient use efficiency, soil health and crop productivity under real-world conditions.
On heavy clay farms in the Netherlands, the trans4num team is showing that cover crops, grass-clover mixtures and plant-based fertilisers can sustain yields while improving soil biology and reducing reliance on mineral nutrients.
In the Szigetköz region of northwest Hungary, the trans4num team is combining three-year crop rotations, advanced monitoring techniques and interactive educational tools to transform nutrient management in a biodiversity-rich agricultural landscape.
