About this episode

The episode discusses the role of fertilizers in modern agriculture, their energy and greenhouse gas impacts, and potential solutions with experts from Yara and ICL Group.

Fertilizer drives modern agriculture, to feed the world. It turns natural gas, nitrogen from the atmosphere, and mined minerals into plant nutrients, which end up on our plates to nourish our bodies -- but with large energy and greenhouse gas footprints. We’ll discuss benefits, challenges and potential solutions with Chrystel Monthean from Yara and Dr. Jason Haegele from ICL Group.
