Our mission

Global TraPs is to engage key stakeholders through transdisciplinary mutual learning in building a human-environment system- based understanding of the complete phosphorus supply and demand chain, identifying pools, sinks, and the underlying dynamics of flows so as to jointly identify with strategic stakeholders through case study research (see the NSSI Td pages »» ) alternatives in use, reuse and recycling.

Answering the guiding question “What new knowledge, technologies and policy options are needed to ensure that future phosphorus use is sustainable, improves food security and environmental quality and provides benefits for the poor?” shall lead to improved resource understanding and awareness, funneling into sustainable P management and stewardship.
