Reply to The world is (on average) 50% reliant on nonrenewable sources of phosphorus fertilizer to grow food. It won't go away this century, but prices will increase and ~3/4ths of reserves are controlled by one country by fartyburly

The solution is going back to how farming had been done for thousands of years without the use of chemical fertilizers. Return to the earth the nutrients that get taken out of it during harvest. In other words use compost.
