Ag Research on a Below-Ground Mission: Reducing Wheat’s Nitrogen Footprint

This episode is all about reducing the Nitrogen footprint of wheat. Wheat is the world’s largest ‘crop’ consumer of nitrogen-based fertilizer, while providing affordable calories to billions of resource-poor people and ca. 20% of globally consumed protein. Victor Kommerell is the CropSustaiN Mission Director of the BNI (Biological Nitrification Inhibition) wheat initiative launched by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and CIMMYT. The initiative aims to develop new wheat varieties capable of reducing agriculture’s nitrogen footprint. In this enjobyable episode, hear from Victor not only about this ambitious new research initiative, but also about his very unsusual career path and his take on sabbaticals.
