Excess and inefficient nitrogen use in crops and livestock sectors is polluting our rivers, seas, atmosphere, and ecosystems, contributing to climate change, hampering biodiversity, and contributing to stratospheric ozone depletion. This book provides a detailed overview of issues and challenges related to nitrogen use and overuse, and the importance of nitrogen in relation to food security, human health, and economic stability in South Asia.  It also discusses nitrogen status, sources, sinks, and drivers of nitrogen use in Pakistan, focusing on current nitrogen measures and policies.
