How farmers are rising to a fertilizer shortfall
A war in Iran has disrupted global fertilizer supplies by blocking shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which supplies nearly half of the world's urea and one-fifth of its LNG, a key input for fertilizer production. Farmers and governments are responding by using subsidies, switching to less fertilizer-intensive crops, adopting precision agriculture, and exploring alternative production methods to mitigate the impact on food prices and security.
