Governments around the world are being pressed to find and support alternatives to reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers as the Iran war drives up prices.
I thought Lemmy hated petro-chemical fertilizer though because all these unnatural chemicals are bad. But now because Iran war means some people can’t use it, you all suddenly like it? WTF?
From the article, this guy gave it up long before the war: “Sow was better prepared than most. Eight years ago, he gave up chemical fertilizers for organic compost and other natural sources. He now rallies farmers in Senegal to buy manure from local herders and gives advice on how to make a rich compost, picking out wriggling worms – a healthy sign.”
And this from the article: “Experts say a shift away from chemical fertilizer could have wider benefits, as its production and usage create significant greenhouse gas emissions, the main driver of climate change. Natural fertilizers, by contrast, can sequester carbon in the soil and create fewer problems like runoff that can pollute waterways.‘It’s good for the planet because you’re weaning food production off fossil fuels,’ said Susan Chomba, member of the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems”
Lemmy would be cheering this news if there were a different person as president. You all are literally blinded by hate. lmao

Who hurt you bro?
Nobody hurt me. I’m doing great. And I stand by what I said. :)
Where did you get the idea that I was hurt? I quoted the news article.
