Mohamed Hijri: A simple solution to the coming phosphorus crisis

The video discusses the phosphorus crisis, a critical yet under-discussed issue linked to blue algae problems. Phosphorus is essential for life, playing a key role in DNA, ATP, and cell membranes. However, modern agriculture's reliance on phosphorus fertilizers is inefficient, with most phosphorus lost to the environment. This inefficiency contributes to the depletion of phosphorus reserves, posing a future crisis. The video introduces mycorrhiza, a symbiotic fungus that enhances phosphorus uptake in plants, as a sustainable solution. The speaker envisions a future where mycorrhiza is widely used to alleviate phosphorus scarcity.
