Iran War causing millions to go hungry, due to fuel / food prices, fertiliser shortages:

“The [UN World Food Programme] agency asserted that estimations made in March, warning that 45 million people would fall into acute food shortages if oil prices remained at $100 a barrel by the end of June, were beginning to materialise.“

"Aurin is the only mineral fertiliser made entirely of human urine that is certified on the market. It is approved for use on all plants by the Swiss and French authorities and is sold to farmers, for use in gardens and on house plants and is being tested by city authorities in Paris, Lausanne and Zurich"

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...
