Plant nutrition (Botany 🌱)

Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical elements and compounds necessary for plant growth and reproduction, plant metabolism and their external supply. In its absence the plant is unable to complete a normal life cycle, or that the element is part of some essential plant constituent or metabolite. This is in accordance with Justus von Liebig's law of the...

Primary producer (Ecosystems 🏞️)

An autotroph is an organism that can convert abiotic sources of energy into energy stored in organic compounds, which can be used by other organisms. Autotrophs produce complex organic compounds using carbon from simple substances such as carbon dioxide, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical reactions....

There's a lot to unpack here, including how we scientists think that we are smart but end up working on end-of-pipe-solutions that help temporarily to stabilize unsustainable systems.
This is a perfect example how academic knowledge does not lead to an understanding (or motivation) to address root causes.

Naturally, the problem of this nutrient crisis is that in industrial farming systems the amount of animals is not anymore related to the available land. And this is because of policy decisions to commodify agriculture in an neoliberal industrual system.

Compare it with the thousands of scientists, NGOs and foundations that deploy there energy in hyperexpensive investigations for cancer cures, but only an infimal fraction of this is inverted in the field of prevention.

Or the promotion of high-tech carbon-capture bullshit instead of degrowth.

Foliar spray refers to the application of liquid fertilizers, pesticides, or other nutrients directly onto the leaves of plants. This method allows plants to absorb essential nutrients through their leaves, providing a more immediate and effective means of nutrient delivery compared to soil-based applications.

Teaming With Nutrients: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Optimizing Plant Nutrition

Just as he demystified the soil food web in his ground-breaking book Teaming with Microbes, in this new work Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener's perspective. Where Teaming with Microbes used adeptly used microbiology; Teaming with Nutrients employs cellular biology.
