#71 Stewards of the Soil

Historically civilisations have sprung up wherever the land was most fertile, soils that supported good crop productivity to meet the food requirements of highly concentrated groups of people. Now with the global population close to 8 billion, and all arable land already committed to food production, we are turning to technology to help fertilise soils and increase yields beyond what would have been possible in the past. But farmers are having to get cleverer all the time and ensure that every possible plant nutrient is catered for if they are to meet the ever-growing demand.
