Feeding the Land to Feed the People
A historic overview traces agricultural progress from early manure and natural fertilisers to modern artificial fertilisers. It notes Rothamsted beginnings, crop breeding advances, and the shift to soil nitrogen knowledge, then discusses tropical soils, farming constraints, and the push to expand fertiliser use among small cultivators, balancing cost, application, and local conditions.
