From the University of Edinburgh, School of GeoSciences in partnership with NEWS India-UK and the South Asian Nitrogen Hub.
About the course:
Human population is surging towards 10 billion, food, water, climate and energy security are at risk. Nitrogen could be our life raft in this global 'perfect storm'. Get it right and it can help feed billions. Get it wrong and it will make things worse.
What you'll learn:
Learn about the global nitrogen challenge, how nitrogen has helped human civilization to develop, and how its misuse now threatens us, and examine the solutions to the global challenges of nitrogen and how we can better manage this precious element.
Is this course for you?
Yes, if you have a high school level background in environmental sciences.
These videos are free, open resources originally created for the short online course Nitrogen: A Global Challenge and its translations. If the course is not currently running, you can still work through the media resources in your own time.
