The National Strategic Phosphorus Advisory Group (NSPAG) was officially launched at the inaugural meeting during the 3rdSustainable Phosphorus Summit in Sydney, February 2012. The members of NSPAG are representatives of key stakeholder groups and sectors related to phosphorus in the food system (from mineral resources, fertiliser, agricultural, farming, livestock, food nutrition, natural resources, organic waste, sustainability and wastewater sectors). At this inaugural meeting, members reviewed and discussed the draft Australian Phosphorus Flows model v1.3, discussed the potential of the Interactive Future Phosphorus Scenarios and agreed on the Terms of Reference for the NSPAG.
