The UK Agri-Tech Centre has partnered with LEAF on the Nitrogen Utilisation Efficiency Legumes (NUE-Leg) project, a DEFRA-funded on-farm and research initiative. The project aims to reduce the reliance of UK grassland farming on synthetic nitrogen fertilisers by creating technological innovations that minimise environmental effects, while improving the economic viability and sustainability of grassland farming practices.
