GRAIN — The Exxons of agriculture
Grain: Fertiliser companies are among the world’s top climate villains, a
new report from GRAIN asserts. Their products could be responsible for
up to 10% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, not to mention the
damage wreaked on waterways, soils and the ozone layer. But policies to
transition agriculture out of its current dependence on chemical
fertilisers are being undermined by the fertiliser industry’s lobby
efforts.
