Fertilizer has been at the heart of an enormous uptick in arable land and crop volume. That's the direct result of fossil fuel infrastructure.
We are farther away from extinction than we've ever been.
Actually artificial fertilizer comes from the Haaber Bosch process, which uses fossil fuels to turn air into nitrogen.
