Roughly half of global food production depends on mineral fertilizers. As geopolitical tensions, energy volatility and supply chain disruptions reshape global markets, resilient fertilizer supply chains are becoming increasingly critical to global food security. In a World Economic Forum article, Yara's President and CEO, Svein Tore Holsether, explains why fertilizer has become a geopolitical issue and what it will take to strengthen global food systems in a more fragmented world. When fertilizer supply becomes unreliable or highly volatile, the consequences extend far beyond agriculture. Farmers often reduce or delay fertilizer use, which can lead to lower crop yields months later, putting food security at risk. Building stronger food systems has never been more important. This requires: 🌍 More diversified and resilient fertilizer supply chains 📲 Greater nutrient use efficiency through precision agriculture and digital tools 🧑‍🌾 Better access to financing and risk management for farmers Reliable and affordable access to crop nutrition strengthens food systems, supports livelihoods and improves resilience to shocks.   Read the full article 👉 https://lnkd.in/e4MtiwcA   #AMNC26
