Hi All,

I work with large producers. I manage WHS for some Australian farms in Victoria. I am deeply concerned about:

Our capacity to feed 8.3 billion humans in 2027-2032

I fear we are headed to the 1945 world population of 2.5 billion

Synthetic fertiliser is made from LNG and likely to never be in abundance again.

Please take a look, I am open to critique.

      Synthetic fertiliser shortage never ending, lower crop output per input, massive population growth from 2.5 billion to 8.5 billion in ~80 years thanks to synthetic fertilizer and industrialisation. So without synthetic fert, without diesel (farming is very diesel heavy) cheap labour and with a huge global debt making capital investment tightly aligned with cost/benefit then we likely can’t produce and transport food for all the people who now live 100’s kilometers from it’s production. I’m not hard claiming 3 billion but i feel it’s a fair assessment weighing agricultural innovations over the last 80 years against the probable the loss of abundant fert/oil/labour/water/pollinators/biosecurity programs
