#Fertilisers are critical for crop growth, yield stability and quality & farmers need reliable access to affordable fertilisers.
The Fertiliser Action Plan that was presented on 19/5 by the Commission focuses on ensuring fertilisers’ affordability, predictability in supply and resilience for agricultural production 💚

The State Security Department (VSD) of #Lithuania has warned against proposals to resume #transit shipments of Belarusian #fertilisers via the port of #Klaipeda. VSD director Remigijus Bridikis noted that doing so would contravene EU #sanctions without reducing #security threats posed by #Belarus.

All this would be good, @ConversationUK, but without real #action to deal with both #climatechange & the #biodiversity #crisis, & without changing #farming #methods to eliminate #monoculture & the intensive use of #artificial #fertilisers & #pesticides, we are heading for a Malthusian catastrophe.

#Italy - Sicily was once a major producer of sulphur but has shut down its hundreds of #mines. Seeing as #sulphur is a key ingredient in some #fertilisers and sulphur #exports have been interrupted by the US-Israel vs Iran conflict, maybe Sicily could look into reopening its mines?

The Commission has proposed to suspend, for one year, the most favoured nation (MFN) duties on imports of several key nitrogen fertilisers and inputs for their production (ammonia, urea).
This measure aims to strengthen the EU's #agrifood sector, lowering costs for farmers and the #fertilisers industry🤔

"We are facing the greatest global energy security threat in history"
“The war in the Middle East is creating a major energy crisis, including the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. In the absence of a swift resolution, the impacts on energy markets and economies are set to become more and more severe,” said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol."
"Reduce demand:
1. Work from home where possible
Displaces oil use from commuting, particularly where jobs are suitable for remote work.2. Reduce highway speed limits by at least 10 km/h
Lower speeds reduce fuel use for passenger cars, vans and trucks.3. Encourage public transport
A shift from private cars to buses and trains can quickly reduce oil demand.4. Alternate private car access to roads in large cities on different days
Number-plate rotation schemes can reduce congestion and fuel-intensive driving.5. Increase car sharing and adopt efficient driving practices
Higher car occupancy and eco-driving can lower fuel consumption quickly.6. Efficient driving for road commercial vehicles and delivery of goods
Better driving practices, vehicle maintenance and load optimisation can cut diesel use.7. Divert LPG use from transport
Shifting bi-fuel and converted vehicles from LPG to gasoline can preserve LPG for cooking and other essential needs.8. Avoid air travel where alternative options exist
Reducing business flights can quickly ease pressure on jet fuel markets.9. Where possible, switch to other modern cooking solutions
Encouraging electric cooking and other modern options can reduce reliance on LPG.10. Leverage flexibility with petrochemical feedstocks and implement short-term efficiency and maintenance measures "
