Phosphate Crisis Looms

The situation with Phosphate

Phosphate is critical for plant growth, but we're facing a phosphate crisis due to dwindling reserves of inorganic phosphate. Mining phosphate is environmentally destructive, causing habitat loss, water pollution, and the release of harmful waste. As these reserves become scarcer, the overreliance on inorganic phosphate threatens food security while driving unsustainable mining practices. Meanwhile, runoff from excess phosphate still leads to eutrophication, further stressing already vulnerable water systems. Read the story on the left to find out about how.
