Yet increasing concerns around long-term availability and accessibility of the world\u2019s main source of phosphorus\u2014phosphate rock, means there is a need to investigate sustainable measures to buffer the world\u2019s food systems against the long and short-term impacts of global phosphorus scarcity. While the timeline of phosphorus scarcity is contested, there is consensus that more efficient use and recycling of phosphorus is required. While the agricultural sector will be crucial in achieving this, sustainable phosphorus measures in sectors upstream and downstream of agriculture from mine to fork will also need to be addressed. This paper presents a comprehensive classification of all potential phosphorus supply- and demand-side measures to meet long-term phosphorus needs for food production. Examples range from increasing efficiency in the agricultural and mining sector, to technologies for recovering phosphorus from urine and food waste. Such measures are often undertaken in isolation from one another rather than linked in an integrated strategy. This integrated approach will enable scientists and policy-makers to take a systematic approach when identifying potential sustainable phosphorus measures. If a systematic approach is not taken, there is a risk of inappropriate investment in research and implementation of technologies and that will not ultimately ensure sufficient access to phosphorus to produce food in the future. The paper concludes by introducing a framework to assess and compare sustainable phosphorus measures and to determine the least cost options in a given context.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/agronomy3010086","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,31]],"date-time":"2013-01-31T10:26:21Z","timestamp":1359627981000},"page":"86-116","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":171,"title":["Sustainable Phosphorus Measures: Strategies and Technologies for Achieving Phosphorus Security"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Dana","family":"Cordell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney, P.O.
