| dc.description | From the end of 2021, and so far in 2022, the the world faces a shortage of fertilizers, driven by a rise in prices of approximately 78% in this lapse. Additionally, fertilizers have ceased to be available in the market, due to the fact that numerous production plants facing negative margins stopped production, due to the increase in the price of energy, among other reasons. Consequently, it it is expected that the reduction of fertilizer applications decrease the yield and quality of the production of foods. All practices that promote an increase in matter organic growth and increased soil biodiversity will improve its fertility and ability to supply nutrients to plants. However, it is important to maintain a balance between physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil. This document briefly summarizes the alternatives compiled to date by the Community of Practice of soils (CoP-Soils) for Latin America and the Caribbean, and other additional measures implemented in the region to deal with this situation. | |
