How much does fertilizer increase crop yields? To answer this question, we tabulated data from technical papers. Aggregating all of the global data, a good rule of thumb is that…
This data-file screens the large, listed fertilizer companies, comparing their CO2 intensity, ROACE, cash flow and recent patent filings. The industry could be disrupted by the rise of conservation agriculture,…
…industry is disrupted by the theme, as fertilizer application can be cut 50-90% using conservation agricultures’ practices. Fertilizer production comprises 1% of global CO2. We profile the largest public companies…
