Potassium Depletion in Soil Threatens Global Food Security
Nutrient depletion in agricultural soil is nothing new. There have been numerous studies and concerns about the depletion of nutrient-rich topsoil and the loss of nutrients like carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, but scientists are now warning about the depletion of potassium in soil.
In a study published in the journal Nature Food, scientists highlight how poor potassium management in agricultural soil could threaten global food security in the future without corrective actions.
According to the study co-authors, about 20% of global agricultural soil is deficient in potassium. Some of the most affected areas include farms in eastern Asia, southeastern Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa.
Globally, soils face challenges from soil-nutrient mining, when more nutrients are being taken from the soil during crop harvesting than are being replenished. The study noted that there is limited, if any, soil fertilization involving potassium, which could lower crop yields.
This is already happening in India, where low potassium levels in the soil are causing decreasing crop yields, the authors reported.
But the authors noted that simply adding more potassium isn’t enough to make up for the current deficiencies and their affects on the soil.
“We also still don’t know exactly what impact increasing potassium concentrations from fertiliser use will have on life in rivers and lakes,” study co-authors Will Brownlie, Mark Maslin and Peter Alexander shared in The Conversation. “Certainly in lab studies it has proven highly toxic to a range of animals. We need to know more about this before we support simply putting more potassium in soils.”
Instead, the study outlined a six-prong approach to avoid declining crop yields that could threaten global food security and minimize the environmental threats of potash mining, a method of extracting potassium for fertilizers. Potash mining can leave behind far more mining waste than the nutrient that is extracted, and the waste, much of it salt, is typically left behind, where it can pollute the environment. That raises concerns over quickly ramping up potassium fertilization worldwide.
First and foremost, the authors noted that there needs to be a global assessment of current potassium levels to better address the areas at greatest risk.
From there, the authors recommended better tracking and forecasting for potassium price fluctuations, as price fluctuations can impact food supply for countries that rely on potassium imports from areas with more potassium resources.
Third, the authors noted a need for assisting farmers in determining their potassium levels and needs, then making recommendations for fertilization.
Another important action is to further assess the risks of potash mining and look into alternatives that could enrich soil without leaving behind so much waste. One possible alternative could be polyhalite, the authors said.
The study authors also emphasized the need to work toward a circular economy for potassium through recycling and reusing potassium as well as teaching consumers more about eating with a low potassium footprint, including by eating less meat.
Finally, the authors recommended better collaboration among governments, similar to the actions being taken by the United Nations Environment Programme and Global Partnership on Nutrient Management to address nitrogen in soil.
“A future UN Environment Assembly resolution on potassium provides a key opportunity for intergovernmental action, showcasing a strong commitment to fostering positive change,” the study concluded.

2 or 3 years after tv cable came out, they created what was called back then continue news network. So they had an agenda to use news media as a manipulate propaganda outlet. A lot of things happened in a short period of them. These continus news channels will repeat a lot of the same news segment over and over, it is bit like they were trying to manipulate by repetition.

I was really surprised about the importance they gave to female rape. I don’t know one women in my whole life that has been raped. The topic of female rape came out of nowhere, just like that and was pushed through the media and the justice system. At the same the divorce law turned against men and made man a second class citizen.

A lot of things happen in a short period of time. It really felt like someone had an agenda and was determined to implement it at breaking speed.

Ask the American negros, what he thinks of the US divorce court system. Really abusive system against men.

She is wearing BDSM clothing. Dominatrix clothing is an illusions and the people floating in the air are also illusions. SO I could kill all the people of earth inside an horror illusions. So indeed I can create for my self an illusion where I will be the sole survivor on earth.

The have also created a hierarchy among skin colors of the world to help them manage earth. Whites are the ones the will receive the tech transfer for them. They are the innovator and warriors. The Asians are the submissive bee workers same with the latinos. Arab I don’t know. Negro is the idiot of the planet that always need help and is overly violent.
adie on Wed, 6th Mar 2024 6:43 pm
They even created a scale of beauty among the races:
1-Whites
2-Arabs
3-Latinos/South America
4-Asians
5-Indians
6-Negros

In the porn that are also some theatrical. Negro has the bigger dick and the ones with the highest sexual appetite. BDSM is mainly White sexual domaine, latino is similar to the negro. The other race are almost absente in the porn scene.

You are not going to collapse earth calculators with videos like this. The calculators are locked. The calculators are there to kill everyone on earth and so far they have worked flawlessly. I want your fucking cadavers for stealing my right to carry an handgun on me without a license. I want you dead for denying me personal protection.

I told you earth was a psychological engineer civilization. The goal was to modify people behavior to make them capables of living in smart cities because we are running out of natural resources. They need slave to do the manual labour. The need to be able to control you otherwise smart cities will not work. I told you, I am almost 100% right on everything.

The food taste fucking bad. This shit is fucking toxic. Either it gives you stomach pain, flatulences, diarrhea or constipation. I came back from the grocery store with only chips and coke and some pizza. I said to myself fuck it, I prefer the pain caused by hunger then the pain caused by toxic foods.
I can wait to destroy this fucking planet.

At 1:21 they using heat to melt the chocolat. I told you, earth is a matrix of solid only modifiable using heat. Earth magnetic field = heat. I told you, you can see the hatred that GOD has for earth population by looking at how earth is designed. Without heat, you are unable to produce steal, plastic, food, and so on. We have you by balls and there is nothing you can do against us.

There is no such thing as electrical current. What you call electricity is actually some kind of heat transfer. Why do you think your electronics components gets so hot. We are going to put first your feet the wood chipper first so you suffer more. We have you by the balls really tight.

Some people put firearms in some Canadians tire in big cities for a reason. Personally, I will not come to save Québec, Canada, US or North America. I have better things to do with my life. I am trying to destroy critical infrastructures during the civil war, and destroy Québec in a permanent manner.
ddoe on Sun, 17th Mar 2024 1:18 pm
If I can get my way, nobody will ever live in Quebec, as I will seek to shut down the electrical in permanent manner.

You stole my right to carry a handgun on me without a license. I will destroy Canada and Québec is such a way that nobody will ever be able to live there for eternity.

There will be no Ethnic Cleansing Operations in US or Canada. Whites people like will not come to the rescue of US or Canada. To have Ethnic Cleansing Operations you need to able to unite people around a common cause worth dying. Whites people will not come to save your shit nations and infrastructures Man like me will seek to destroy US and Canda in a permaner manner so nobody can ever live there. I want your fucking cadavers and I will get your fucking cadavers.

I really like Texas. Real freedom where you can carry an handgun. If I was forced to manage North America, I would relocate to Texas and manage North America from Texas.
I piss and shit on Québec and Canada for stealing my right to carry an handgun on me.

I can see myself leaving Québec and restarting a new life somewhere else. I can see pretending that I was never born in Québec and know nothing about it. Fucking communist shit hole. I can see myself starting a new nations but without Québec, Canada and the North of USA.

To goal it is to install militia leaders here and there and hope they will keep the electrical grid and supply chain up. In exchange these militia leaders can kill who they want and how they want.
eee on Wed, 20th Mar 2024 6:56 pm
There are some ways to arm a militia in Canada without passing by the provincial and federal government. There is too many traitors inside governmental agencies that you must bypass governmental official and do everything outside of governmental reach.
eee on Wed, 20th Mar 2024 6:59 pm
An effective militia should be out of reach by governmental agencies. I think it is obvious.

Someone somewhere is panicking as he are not able to reduce population number using COVID and fears tactics such as ugly faces, long necks, fakes wars, and so on. The cabal is panicking now. They were unable to start a civil war by provoing Whites people using propagandas tactics such as racism, whites supremacist claims, whites privileges claims.
Whites people refuse to die for their nations as they see their nations as their enemies. I am one of them.

There is probably more Whites men walking on the streets of Pattaya Thailand, then there is in Miami. Yes Whites men are abandoning the West and moving somewhere else.

South East Asia should be careful who the are welcoming as immigrant. The Black, Arabs and Indians from India are immigrants to avoids. They will give you problems later on. They don’t the same mistake we did in the West. Choose you ethic race carefully other you will ruin a beautiful land.
