#FossilFuel dependence for #fertiliser has to change. Urea must come from other sources. Humans & farm animals produce loads of urea as a waste product that gets flushed or washed away. Alter waste management & #farming systems, so urea can be collected & make #agriculture sustainable. #foodsecurity

Farmers who are smart, do not need fertiliser. Australia has 26 million cattle. Yes. More cattle than humans. Green crops such as legumes are nitrogenous aka they fertilise the soil and provide a crop.
If farmers can't break their fossil fuelled […]

In #India there is a 62% change #ElNino can emerge in June-July-August and an 80% chance of it persisting in August-September-October is said in a seasonal forecast. India’s #farming will face challenges in #fertiliser supplies due to the #WestAsia #war.

Note: major #Gulf countries supply a third of the world’s exports of #urea — a key #fertiliser ingredient.
Why are some farms weathering the fertiliser crisis better than others?
Because they don’t rely on it.
Regenerative & agroecological farming shows how to build resilience free of fossil fuels.

Resilience is a much-overused word in recent agricultural policy debate, but the concept is rather undermined by the UK’s dependence on imported energy, fuel and fertiliser. #Defra #fertiliser

A food shock is inevitable due to the Iran war – and it could get bad.
Even if the conflict in the Middle East ends today, higher fuel, fertiliser and pesticide prices will lead to a food shock in the coming months.
There is no easy way out, but ac…

The #InternationalMonetaryFund has warned that “all roads lead to higher prices and slower growth worldwide” should the conflict in the #MiddleEast continue to throttle the amount of oil, #gas and #fertiliser making its way out of the Gulf.

I see Green Lightening are showing their onfarm machines at the FutureAg Expo 2026 at the Melbourne showgrounds Wed 29th July to Fri 31th July. Could be worth a look.

Excellent! Updated tech that can pull #nitrogen out of the air for fertiliser. Onfarm machines that are cheaper than applying standard nitrogen #fertiliser
There are already machines available in the US that can do this.

As a student I worked on a market garden which also had a small line in agricultural supplies. Every so often we had the job of loading bags of inorganic fertiliser onto lorries or trailers. The word used for it was […]

Russia sends fossil fuel #fertiliser to Brazil and South America. Europe, China and US then import soy for their cheap meat for cheap humans. But it's not just fertiliser. The reason why rainforests lose 2.5% insect biomass per year today is #pesticides.
