Fixes 31 gigatonnes of #CarbonDioxide a year.
Reduces #cost of #farming.
Improves #yield.
(Not in the article: needs less #water).
But as usual, you have to ask: WHO is it that stands to gain from doing this, WHO stands to lose? Big Ag, Big Seed, Big Fertiliser, and the industries around that have a lot to lose. And they are still very powerful.
How to get them to the table as partners not adversaries?

@CelloMomOnCars@mastodon.social So the ones with the most to lose from this are also the ones with the most capital to invest if they wanted to pivot. The real question is whether the profit margins in selling less fertilizer and less water can ever match the margins on selling more of it.
