Description

Food production in the developing world needs to be increased in order to keep up with the growing population. To achieve this goal, the use of fertilizers and improved agricultural management techniques are necessary. However, this action needs to be controlled; excessive use of fertilizers and agrochemicals resulting in possible pollution of the groundwater and the atmosphere should be avoided.
