Iran war: how farmers adapt as fertilizer crunch heats up
The war in Iran is causing a global fertilizer shortage due to shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which affects urea and LNG supplies critical for fertilizer production. Farmers are adapting by switching to less fertilizer-intensive crops like soybeans, using precision agriculture to reduce waste, and exploring alternative technologies, while governments are intervening with subsidies and stockpiles to mitigate impacts on food prices.
