Trade import export nitrogen UK

This background document details the methodology used by SEI York to estimate nitrogen flows within agricultural and aquatic commodities imported to and exported from the UK between 2017 and 2021 for the WWF-UK UK Nitrogen Balance Sheet.

• Researchers developed a methodology to assess nitrogen movement through supply chains by analyzing nitrogen contained in traded agricultural and aquatic commodities over a five-year period from 2017 to 2021, utilizing statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN.
• The report identifies the top five agricultural and aquatic imports and exports for the UK based on their nitrogen mass.
• The authors recommend expanding future research to include nitrogen flows from specific countries for particular commodities, as well as incorporating chemical and forestry commodities to better understand global transboundary nitrogen movement.
