EU Fertiliser Action Plan released. Organic recognised, but measures to counter synthetic inputs dependency insufficient | IFOAM Organics Europe

Today, the European Commission unveiled its Fertiliser Action Plan. IFOAM Organics Europe welcomes the recognition of organic farming as a nutrient-efficient farming system that can help reduce reliance on synthetic fertilisers, improve natural soil fertility through nutrient cycles and strengthen the resilience of EU agri-food systems. 🌱 At the same time, we caution against weakening the Nitrates Directive under the guise of simplification, as well as measures that risk maintaining long-term dependency on synthetic fertilisers through continued focus on supply diversification and domestic production. A truly resilient food system requires reducing dependency on synthetic fertilisers while investing in healthy soils and agroecological approaches.

Q: I need to increase potassium, magnesium, and oxygen saturation in my plant soil. What chemical compounds should I buy for this to create a fertiliser mix?
A: Potassium peroxide and Magnesium sulphate

I'm not quite sure about that. Thanks AI...

Strait of Hormuz: why even neutral and distant countries like Switzerland can’t escape the fallout

Changes in shipping routes can end up altering the physical state of distant mountains, as well as creating other fallouts.

Fertiliser supplies disrupted by Iran conflict could risk up to 10 billion meals weekly worldwide, warns Yara CEO. Crop yields in vulnerable nations may drop, triggering a global food bidding war. UK unlikely to face shortages, but higher production costs may lift prices. #foodsecurity #fertiliser

Fixing Nitrogen for #fertiliser - #Ammonia production - is rather important. Suddenly 30% of the world's supply is blocked.

The FT comments are a rich seam of ignorance and stupidity.
Why electrolysing water is claimed to make an algal bloom seems entirely without sense.

And if water is short, and solar only works in daytime, floating panels on the water, and hydrogenerate at night.
A battery.
