Fertilizers

Synthetic fertilizers have allowed us to feed the world. Around half of humanity relies on them.&nbsp;They’re not only important for food production and nutrition, but they’re important for the environment too. We’ve seen massive increases in crop yields – partly due to fertilizers – and this means we need less farmland. Less farmland means less deforestation and more space for wildlife.

About 25 million kilometres of new roads are expected to be built around the world by&nbsp;2050. Along with power lines and railways, roads cut through the landscape everywhere, disrupting ecosystems. This linear infrastructure prevents animals from moving safely around their habitat. It also reduces access to the resources they need, like food, sufficient space and mating partners.
