Place limits the amount of nitrogen applied to grassland Reduce nutrient inputs to grassland Reduced excess nitrogen accumulation in grassland soils Reduce leaching losses of nitrogen to water Reduced eutrophication Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce nutrient impacts
Improve groundwater quality (chemical) - nutrients
Reduce fertiliser packaging waste Recycling, reuse and waste minimisation
Reduce nitrogen losses to atmosphere Reduce GHG emissions - nitrous oxide
Reduce excess soil phosphorus accumulation Reduced phosphorus in water Improve surface water quality (chemical) - nutrients
Reduced eutrophication Maintain and enhance biodiversity: Aquatic - reduce nutrient impacts
Reduce nitrogen fertiliser production Reduce indirect energy use Reduction in fossil fuel use Decrease consumption of non-renewable energy sources
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions from combustion Reduce GHG emissions - carbon dioxide
Decrease farm costs Economic viability
Efficient use of resources - energy
