DESCRIPTION:Nutrient pollution is one of the most significant environmental
  issues of our time\, driven by the oversupply of fertilizer and manure to
  agricultural land. Most policies focus on changing farmer behavior\, whic
 h is extremely difficult\, largely ineffective and a major reason why poll
 ution levels continue to rise. A more creative governance framework that c
 an avoid the pitfalls of farmer-focused policies while spurring reductions
  in agricultural nutrient pollution is critical. Consequently\, the core o
 bjective of the Governing Nutrient Pollution Beyond Farmers project is to 
 design a new governance framework to address agricultural nutrient polluti
 on in the US and the EU aimed at agri-food system actors beyond the farm c
 apable of influencing farm-level nutrient management – from fertilizer com
 panies to multinational retailers. Doing so would shift the regulatory bur
 den away from the farmer and transform an intractable non-point source pro
 blem into a series o f more manageable point source approaches.\n\nDavid K
 anter is an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at New York Unive
 rsity and Vice-Chair of the International Nitrogen Initiative. His researc
 h examines new policy options for addressing nutrient pollution and how to
  manage the transition to a global agri-food system consistent with the Su
 stainable Development Goals. Prior to his current position\, David was a P
 ostdoctoral Research Fellow at The Earth Institute at Columbia University.
  He received his BSc in Chemistry and Law from the University of Bristol i
 n the UK and his MA and PhD in Science\, Technology and Environmental Poli
 cy from  Princeton University.\n\nLocation: Zoom\n
