After significant increases in livestock productivity, China now needs to improve efficiency and environmental performance.

The largest livestock production and greatest fertilizer use in the world occurs China. However, quantification of nutrient flows through manure management chain their interactions with management-related measures is lacking. Herein, we present a detailed analysis losses "feed intake–excretion–housing–storage–treatment–application" chain, while considering differences among systems. We estimated environmental loss from 2010 to be up 78% excreted nitrogen over 50% phosphorus potassium....

Food production in China results large losses of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to the environment. Our objective is identify hotspots for N P environment from food at county scale. To do this, we used NUFER (Nutrient flows chains, Environment Resources use) model. Between 1990 2012, hotspot area expanded by a factor 3 N, 24 P. In 2012 most were found North Plain. Hotspots covered less than 10% Chinese land area, but contributed more half Direct discharge animal manure rivers was an...

Transforming smallholder farms is critical to global food security and environmental sustainability. The science technology backyard (STB) platform has proved be a viable approach in China. However, STB traditionally focused on empowering farmers by transferring knowledge, wide-scale adoption of more sustainable practices technologies remains challenge. Here, we report long-term project scale-up for expanding upgrading the original (STB 2.0). We created formalized standardized process which...

The nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) costs of food production have increased greatly in China during the last 30 years, leading to eutrophication surface waters, nitrate leaching groundwater, greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we present results scenario analyses which possible changes production-consumption for year 2030 were explored. Changes chain structure, improvements technology management, combinations these on supply environmental quality analyzed with NUFER model. In business as usual...

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crop production and often in short supply. The necessary P fertilizers are derived from deposits the lithosphere, which limited size nonrenewable. China one of world's largest consumers producers fertilizers. Thus, resource use efficiency has important impact on worldwide use. This study examined fertilizer industry terms efficiency, economics, environmental risk, explored options improvement through scenario analysis. decreased a mean 71% before...

Abstract Increasing grain zinc (Zn) concentration of cereals for minimizing Zn malnutrition in two billion people represents an important global humanitarian challenge. Grain field-grown wheat at the scale ranges from 20.4 to 30.5 mg kg −1 , showing a solid gap biofortification target human health (40 ). Through group field experiments, we found that low was not closely linked historical replacements varieties during Green Revolution, but greatly aggravated by phosphorus (P) overuse or...

Developing sustainable food systems is essential, especially for emerging economies, where are changing rapidly and affect the environment natural resources. We explored possible future pathways a system in China, using multiple environmental indicators linked to eight of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Forecasts 2030 business as usual scenario (BAU) indicate increases animal consumption well increased shortages land available water needed produce required China. Associated greenhouse...

Efficient use of phosphorus (P) for producing food, preventing water pollution, and managing a dwindling rock P reserve are major challenges China. We analyzed stocks flows in the Chinese food chain to identify where efficiency can be improved, leaks environment, research, technologies, policies needed improve use. found high degree inefficiency; 6652 Gg entering chain, only 1102 (18%) exit as humans. The greatest inefficiencies were large build-up soil (3670 yr; 52% inputs) losses...

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) use losses in China's food chain have accelerated the past three decades, driven by population growth, rapid urbanization, dietary transition, changing nutrient management practice. There has been little detailed quantitative analysis of relative magnitude these driving forces throughout this period. Therefore, we analyzed changes N P flows key drivers behind (production consumption) at national scale from 1980 to 2010. Food (N P) consumption increased about...

Abstract China has an ever‐increasing thirst for milk, with a predicted 3.2‐fold increase in demand by 2050 compared to the production level 2010. What are environmental implications of meeting this demand, and what is preferred pathway? We addressed these questions using nexus approach, examine interdependencies increasing milk consumption its global impacts, under different scenarios domestic importation. Meeting China's business as usual scenario will dairy‐related (China leading...
