Question

Ap Dorji grows leguminous crops like beans and peas alternating with non-leguminous crops like maize. What could be the benefit of such practice?

Answer 1

Answer:

Agriculture has come to rely on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers produced from ammonia. This large-scale production is now supporting nearly half of the world’s population through increased food production. But whilst the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers brought enormous benefits, including those of the Green Revolution, the world needs to disengage from our ever-increasing reliance on nitrogen fertilizers produced from fossil fuels.
