There is a significant gap in information about different mitigation strategies available globally to reduce nutrient leaching from vegetable production, the estimated costs associated with these, and what kind of leaching reductions can be potentially achieved using different methods.

Commercial vegetable production in New Zealand is comprised of a diverse range of producing systems that depend on highly productive land in climate suitable areas, with often high nutrient and water inputs.

We are wanting an expert to review and analyse mitigation methods and technologies that have been used to achieve significant reductions in nutrient (particularly nitrogen, but also phosphorus and sediment) leaching in vegetable production systems worldwide.

This tender has been awarded.
