"A sustained disruption of traffic through Hormuz would not simply constitute an energy crisis. It would also represent a fertiliser shock (where prices go up dramatically and supply goes down) ? and, by extension, a direct risk to global food security.
Modern agriculture runs not only on sunlight and soil, but on natural gas.
Through this process, methane is transformed into ammonia, and ammonia into nitrogen fertilisers such as urea ? the most widely used nitrogen fertiliser. Those fertilisers allow crops to reach the yields on which today?s global population depends."
