Ukraine’s farms once fed billions but now its soil is starving
Improved manure recycling is one measure being proposed that could help Ukraine’s soil recover from misuse of fertilisers.

War is turning Ukraine’s fertiliser problem into a catastrophe
Long-term declines in nutrients, and soil damage, have been turbo-charged by the Russian invasion. But a new plan may help restore some of the world’s most fertile soils.

Ongoing conflict in Ukraine is accelerating soil nutrient depletion, threatening the country's long-term agricultural productivity and global food security. Sustainable nutrient management is recommended. doi.org/g98535

Depletion of Ukraine's soils threatens long-term global food security
Beyond the disruption to Ukraine's food exports, the war is jeopardizing the country's long-term ability to remain the "breadbasket of Europe," because its soils are gradually losing vital crop nutrients.

Nutrient asymmetry challenges the sustainability of Ukrainian agriculture
Following Ukraine’s independence in 1991, use of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizers and numbers of livestock decreased dramatically, mainly due to the disruption of supply and marketing chains15 (Fig. 1; Supplementary Fig. 6). Synthetic fertilizer N use...

Nice to see it published! This represents a step toward the practical implementation of a classic partial-nutrient-budget–inspired concept for region- and crop-specific nitrogen benchmarking to achieve sustainable N management. rdcu.be/evOEF @towardsinms.bsky.social @marknitrogen.bsky.social
