On this, the last day of #Pweek2025, I wonder what sorts of things we might do to observe it. 🧪

For Festivus, there is the Airing of Grievances.

For P, we might have our own such airing.

It seems that, for farmers, the Grievances revolve around "There's not enough P in my fields!"

Where do your bones come from? Phosphorus builds bones and comes from our diets. P is the 6th most abundant element in the human body. #PWeek2025

​Behind all the great work on phosphorus sustainability are our wonderful scholars!

Hear from Hector, a PhD student at NC State in biological and agricultural engineering, about his time in STEPS and his future goals!

In the spirit of #Pweek2025, I thought it would be fun to highlight some of the #Phosphorus champions that I work with or have worked with in the past. So many I am certainly leaving many out! 🧪

Here's picture from one of our P sustainability Research Coordination Network meetings.

Sustainable phosphorus management practices include optimizing fertilizer usage in agriculture, recovering P from waste streams, & implementing erosion control measures. With these, we can conserve P resources, reduce environmental pollution, & ensure long-term agricultural productivity. #PWeek2025

We're thrilled that the States of WI, IL, and NC (hopefully more to come) have officially embraced our effort to designate the 15th week of the year as Phosphorus Week. This will raise awareness about P sustainability issues & the great work that many organizations are doing! #PWeek2025

Did you know phosphorus is essential for life? EVERY living thing needs P to survive! You’ll find P in DNA, RNA, cell membranes, and more. #PWeek2025

Phosphorus is a finite resource- we can’t create more of it, so management decisions are critical. Interestingly, P only forms in certain novae and supernovae in space. #PWeek2025
