How Is KR 3.2 Tracking?
Our Fertilizers KR calls for an end to the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, the source of more than 1.5 gigatons of emissions, and to replace them with greener alternatives. China, India, and Brazil are among the nations most reliant on high-emissions fertilizers. In general, African farmers use the least per acre.
With new delivery methods and precision techniques for optimal timing and placement, farmers can cut emissions of planet-punishing nitrous oxide with no harm to yields.
In addition, we need to invent ways to produce fertilizers without using fossil fuels. Together, these actions could cut carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions in half.
