Our global food supply is at risk when high gas prices limit the creation of fertilizer.

*Our global food supply is at risk when high gas prices limit the creation of fertilizer.*

We should not draw the direct and simple conclusion that the article leads to. Keeping fossil fuel cheap means global disaster. That is not a solution, that is the worst possible problem. Fossil fuels must be more expensive ten years from now.

George Monbiot writes about regenerative farming, that can produce good yields with less fertilizer (and perhaps with more humans working the farms). I have no expertise on that, and I don't know how well it can actually work, but it would be good to organize to give it a try.

Meanwhile, if making fertilizer pushes the world into unsustainability, we can certainly head in the right direction by (1) eating less meat (a large fraction of grain production is for meat) and (2) having fewer babies.

First, we could end growing grain for biofuel.
