End of the phosphate fertilizer reserves: reality or geopolitical restrictions?
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for all life on earth, and has no substitute in food production. The supply of P from phosphate rock reserves is concentrated in a few countries and could be severely affected. Whereby the geopolitical context should be considered when assessing the situation....

oai:bibliotecavirtual.unl.edu.ar:article-120032022-08-30T14:34:35Z End of the phosphate fertilizer reserves: reality or geopolitical restrictions? Fin de las reservas de fertilizantes fosfatados: ¿realidad o restricciones geopolíticas? Giannini, A. P. Andriulo, A. E. Wyngaard, N. Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for all life on earth, and has no substitute in food production. The supply of P from phosphate rock reserves is concentrated in a few countries and could be severely affected. Whereby the geopolitical context should be considered when assessing the situation. However, there are no reliable and transparent data on the production, trade, use and losses of this nutrient. So is there really a physical shortage or are they economic, political or technical constraints? Although solutions are already being sought at different scales to achieve greater resilience of agroecosystems, actions are urgently needed to understand, protect and preserve our planet and its limited resources, such as P, in a sustainable, profitable and safe way. El fósforo (P) es un elemento fundamental para toda la vida en la tierra, y no presenta un sustituto en la producción de alimentos. El suministro de P desde las reservas de rocas fosfóricas está concentrado en unos pocos países y, en las próximas décadas podría verse gravemente afectado. Por ello el contexto geopolítico debería ser considerado al evaluar la situación. Sin embargo, no existen datos fiables y transparentes sobre la producción, el comercio, el uso y las pérdidas de dicho nutriente. Por lo tanto, ¿hay realmente una escasez física o son limitaciones de tipo económicas, políticas o técnicas? Si bien ya se están buscando soluciones a diferentes escalas para lograr una mayor resiliencia de los agroecosistemas, se necesitan acciones urgentes para comprender, proteger y preservar nuestro planeta y sus limitados recursos, como el P, de una manera sostenible, rentable y segura.
