Mangroves are 'powerful and undervalued' for curbing nitrogen pollution, study finds

Mangrove forests could help sequester more than five million metric tons of nitrogen pollution from coastal ecosystems across the Earth if they are restored and protected, a recent study found. Nitrogen pollution typically comes from synthetic fertilizers largely used in agriculture or from human waste seeping into water sources. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for […]

War-choked fertilizer problem pushes farmers toward human urine

The fertilizer crisis is giving fresh momentum to products that have long struggled to gain widespread adoption because farmers viewed them as less reliable than synthetic fertilizers.

Beweise liegen vor: Hacker greifen Daten von Apple & Co bei Foxconn ab

Bei Apples größten Fertigungspartner ist es offenbar zu einem schwerwiegenden Angriff durch die Ransomware-Gruppe Nitrogen gekommen, bei dem es gelang, umfangreiche Dokumente von Apple zu stehlen. Unter anderem sollen interne Apple-Pläne für Server geklaut worden sein.

We’ve got a lot of clovers, really a lot 🙃 Hopefully, they’re improving the soil quality🤔

Yesterday's presentation at #PintOfScience was very nice, but it reminded me again how little press most agricultural and food topics get (unless there's a trendy new sanitary issue).

So it just made me feel like boosting this old thread and my presentation at the Fediverse Solstice School again, in case anyone wants to read about sustainable agriculture and fertilization.

Let's see, #Urine can produce #Urea , #Ammonia and add #Nitrogen to soil And what can add #Sulfur to soil? #Compost and #Manure! #BigAg's dependence on chemicals is ridiculous! We need #RegenerativeAgriculture on a local level to feed ourselves!

What are the natural sources of sulfur for organic farming?

Natural sources of sulfur are essential for organic farming because sulfur is a key nutrient that supports plant growth and health. Organic farmers rely on naturally occurring sulfur sources to maintain soil fertility and promote robust crop yields without synthetic inputs. What Are the Natural Sources of Sulfur for Organic Farming? Organic farming benefits from […]

Oh boy. Plastics? Well, we need less of those anyways (and maybe actually recycle them?). Pharmaceuticals? Yeah, that's a BIG problem! Maybe manufacture them in smaller factories locally. As for fertilizer? Let's see... #Urea, #nitrogen and #ammonia -- all can come from urine! And sulphur? Grow more garlic and onions rather than use oil production byproducts. WTF!

"Around 30% of fertilizer products go through the Strait of Hormuz. Quatar is the world’s biggest producer of urea, a key input to fertiliser manufacture. The region also produces around 35% of the urea and 23% of the ammonia, another feedstock for nitrogenous fertiliser, which is exported globally. Sulphur, another component of fertiliser manufacture, is also produced in the region as a by-product of oil production."

The Hormuz ‘dry run’: life without oil and petrochemicals

With transport through the Strait of Hormuz at a virtual standstill, we get a picture of how oil and petrochemicals are part of our life
