NG is a big promoter of ' avoid development ' narrative. Lack of oil and gas , mining, refineries , manufacturing infrastructure leads to shortages and higher prices. Stop blocking pipelines and villifaying fossil fuel industries.

Awsome, we're finally gonna lose some weight!!!

That’s called organic

Not sanctions are the problem,but brutal russian invasion of Ukraine and russian mines and war ships in the black sea!Please consider formulating the true cause of upcoming world hunger.

Birth control, vs. disease, violence,war. Damn.

Russia has blocked 22 million tons of grain in Ukrainian ports. Sanctions against Russian food supplies will not be imposed, and against oil and gas exports are only being considered. But that 'sanctions against Russia' who are still to blame for the world food crisis. 🤬

I love hearing officials, of what I have no idea, say there are not to many people on the planet. I have thought otherwise all my life.

Ca permettra peut etre de redecouvrir des techniques de culture a base d'engrais biologiques, si on paie plus cher mais qu'on bouffe mieux c'est toujours mieux que payer plus cher parce qu'on importe de l'autre bout du monde. On pourras faire revivre nos sols au passage.

West's sanctions on Russia

Hitler was trying to gas the jews, Putin wants to starve the people in Africa and Middle East to death!

Conscious planetsave soil🙏

RwandaIsKiling in DRC , des massacres ont été perpetré sur des especes en voie de disparition

It’s just LIES! Ukraine is ONE tiny country in the world! There is just no possible way that this ONE country can have any effect at all on world food production! It’s just a bunch of politically fueled LIES!

Everyone lets all have worm gardens and start growing food if you haven’t already when you have more than you need share it. worms create amazing soil with their casing and the liquid created diluted is great fertilizer

Thank Putin

WTF !!! What about millions handed to rich farmers in the US as subsidy to NOT grow wheat and corn? Nobody talks about that. How else will Monsanto/Bayer make money to feed their 'kepts' in the state and federal legislatures?

One more reason to drill US, cleanest energy in the world!

Farming doesn’t rely on fertilizer. Who told you that? Someone lied to you.

This,& gas prices are why food is so high!Watched a Farmer interview,not getting paid any higher for cattle, chicken,crops,but 2-4x the bills to farm,from even last year,REMEMBER our Farmers& small trucking cos.that have fuel costs thru the roof, to get everything where it goes!

Is that why you repeat that lie again?

National Geographic did Putin pay you for this article? 🤔 Not sanctions on russia...but russian invation in Ukraine have fueled a severe fertilizer shortage that has farmers scrambling to keep the world fed

National Geographic did Putin pay you for this article?🤔

repeat!

The war will be over by next year , many farmers have fields that have been Left Follow for pay ... Now entice the farmers to use those fields, cow manure works great as fertilizer &, the more cows you keep the more fertilizer you have. Before crops are planted spread the poop !!

And the left want to blame cow shit. Just shows how much they want us dead

PMOIndia please keep buying fertilizers from Russia asap.

Love how the USA is not included sarcasm

No Biden Administration has fueled this. Take a look at the USA agriculture and costs

Plant! More! Beans!

Sanctions on RUSSIa lmao🙃? Oh maybe you mean WAR? And naval blockade of Odessa

Perhaps the Vegans will have start eating real food again instead of importing all their rubbish from the other side of the world, thus cutting carbon emissions as well.

just an FYI, i work directly with farmers and we have had tight and expensive fertility inputs but have no shortage. What is the purpose of these sensational headlines that are not factually true?

Check out AnuviaNutrients !

get ur farmer on

Sanctions on russia, lol. Maybe it's a full scale invasion into a European country that's causing the struggle?

And here We Goooo

We can also blame our own incompetence regarding our agricultural methods, which are still stuck in the 1950s, proper crop rotation and companion planting is still frowned upon! Time for sustainability.

gonna take more than 1 guy with a shovel

Sustainable agriculture, culinary habits and healthier human consumption of food would mean less reliance on fertilizers and/or demand. Waste not, want not.

Looks like putin bought this headline from you. Correct title in this tweet 👇

'soil is not fertile because...'

Thot that was baby formula 🤢
