It has over 70 global project partners working on an international nitrogen assessment and includes six regional demonstrations. The Sustainable India Trust mainly deals with South Asian regional demonstration. It involves capacity building and multi-stakeholder regional cooperation for nitrogen assessment and sustainable management on a South Asian scale, using the expertise gained from the European and Indian nitrogen assessments.
