Comment la guerre au Moyen-Orient a fait exploser les prix des engrais et sème le chaos dans les champs

Du détroit d'Ormuz aux plaines céréalières de l'Hexagone, les impacts du conflit sur le prix du gaz – et donc des engrais – interrogent sur la dépendance de l'agriculture française aux engrais azotés de synthèse.
