She found the EU P–TRAP(Preventing Phosphorus Input to Surface Waters –New Concepts in Trapping, Recycling and Management, https://h2020–p–trap.eu/) as a perfect opportunity to explore her interest considering its holistic approach to the global phosphorus challenge which could be a threat to future food security. She will open up conversations around foodproduction and future foodsecurity (SDG Goal 2 –ZeroHunger), impact of Climate Change on food production (SDG 13 –Climate Action) responsible consumptionand Production – (SDG Goal 12) and also a brief insight into No Poverty (SDG Goal 1), Securing Good healthand Well–Being (SDG Goal 3).
