The production of agricultural chemical fertilizers contribute roughly 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Now, MIT researchers, including CIFAR's @afurst1, have developed a more eco-friendly option. Learn more: technologyreview.com/2024/02…

Armor for microbial fertilizers

A coating that protects nitrogen-fixing bacteria from heat and humidity would make them easier to use in place of agricultural chemicals.
