A sustained disruption of traffic through Hormuz would not simply constitute an energy crisis. It would also represent a fertiliser shock (where prices go up dramatically and supply goes down) – and, by extension, a direct risk to global food security.
I’d love to see a movement towards farming that better maintains soil quality and reduces dependence on petrochemical inputs.
However, I’m skeptical about whether we can a) feed 9 billion people that way and b) whether it can be achieved in a short time frame given how badly we have degraded much of our soils
Regardless, it’s the right direction to move in. But I don’t think it can bail the world out of the current crisis
