Phosphorus Forum 2017

We are North America’s central forum and advocate for the sustainable use, recovery, and recycling of phosphorus in the food system. We envision a food system that manages phosphorus more sustainably to provide abundant, nutritious food while protecting the health of rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Sustainable Phosphorus Alliance

Join the Sustainable Phosphorus Alliance for a forum addressing critical issues in phosphorus sustainability. Network with industries, scientists, and policy makers interested in closing the loop on phosphorus use in the food system. Participants include scientists from dozens of research institutes, NGOs focused on water quality issues, nutrient recovery technology companies, fertlizer manufacturers, food producers, water utilities, farm consultants, government regulators, agricultural suppliers, phosphate mining companies, and others.
