environment KINGSTON, Jamaica – An expert in the study of the ills of nitrogen has said reducing meat consumption can help safeguard the environment in Antigua & Barbuda.
Professor Mark Sutton from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in the United Kingdom is one of the experts behind the  “Our Nutrient World” study commissioned by the United Nations Environment Programme examining the pros and cons of nutrients on the environment.
Professor Sutton said what’s problematic for Antigua & Barbuda is that only 10 per cent of nutrients which goes into food as fertiliser is consumed, the remaining 90 per cent is lost in the environment.
