ENSA is a global research partnership that aims to improve the environmental sustainability and equity of global agriculture by developing self-fertilising cereal crops.
This breakthrough research could help replace the need for chemical fertilisers by using beneficial soil microorganisms, providing a more easily accessible form of nutrient acquisition for smallholder farmers. Currently, ENSA is field trialling new technologies towards this aim.
Established in 2012, ENSA is a partnership between the University of Cambridge Crop Science Centre, Aarhus University, University of Oxford, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, NIAB, Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier, University of Illinois and Wageningen University. It is currently funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Agricultural Innovations (Gates Ag One) and the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
