Chemical fertilisers have been used extensively for decades to improve crop yields and meet the growing demand for food. However, the widespread use of chemical fertiliser has raised concerns about their impact on the environment and human health.
In this article, we will discuss why chemical fertilisers are bad and the negative consequences of their use and why Regenerative Agriculture is the solution. Chemical fertilisers are typically made from synthetic materials, such as ammonia and urea, and contain high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients are essential for plant growth and are often lacking in soil. However, the use of chemical fertilisers can have adverse effects on soil health and the environment.

Soil Degradation

One of the main problems with chemical fertilisers is that they can lead to soil degradation.
Chemical fertilisers are designed to provide plants with quick bursts of nutrients, but they do not improve soil health in the long term. The heavy use of chemical fertilisers can lead to the depletion of organic matter in the soil, which can result in reduced soil fertility, water retention, and erosion. In the long run, this can result in soil degradation and decreased crop yields.

Human Health

The widespread use of herbicides and pesticides expose potentially harmful levels of toxins and can cause major health issues such as cancer.

The effects of these harmful inputs minimise the plants nutrient uptake and disable the plants natural operating system, whilst blocking communication pathways and leaving the plant vulnerable and compromised. This is why we must move towards a regenerative food model.

The use of innovative biological inputs such as Happy Soils Heal n’ Shield have been formulated with this in mind; resulting in triple the nutrient uptake compared to generic chemical and synthetic inputs.

Climate Change

The use of chemical fertilisers require a significant amount of energy from the soil and plant which results in the release of dangerous greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Additionally, when chemical fertilisers are applied to crops, they tend to release nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas that greatly contributes to climate change.

The Solution

There are alternatives to chemical fertilisers that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly. One such alternative is the use of regenerative organic agricultural products such as Happy Soils, powered by SSI Technology which works to rapidly regenerate soil health and biology. The Beneficial Bacteria inside Happy Soils products guarantee beneficial microbial life in your soil for 72 days (an entire crop cycle), without this unique technology the life span of bacteria is a short-lived 96 hours. Happy Soils is also able to draw down carbon 3000x better than any other product on the market while reducing the amount of Nitrogen released into the atmosphere.
