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 […]

Why some European farmers are immune to the fertiliser crisis The Iran war has sent fertiliser prices soaring – but these farmers aren’t fazed.

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. by Michael Le Page — New Scientist

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…

Pulling Nitrogen From the Air At a moment where fertilizer trade concerns are dominating headlines, a revolutionary sourcing alternative has emerged — as if from thin air.

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.
