Plant seeds beyond agriculture to shore up the fertilizer sectorFeeding ourselves can be a task out of necessity, or an activity we look forward to. Something we share with loved ones, or in solitude. What we eat can occupy our thoughts, but how many Canadians stop to think about the food for our food? Just like humans need nutrients to allow our bodies to grow and perform our essential functions, so do plants. To survive and grow, plants require a balanced supply of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulphur in the soil. As plants extract these nutrients from the soil, they must be replenished through fertilizers, manure, and compost.
