Abstract
Given the world’s demographic expansion, agricultural production must at least be doubled by 2050 to feed the world’s population. However, the agricultural sector is increasingly suffering from harsh climatic conditions, mainly drought, and soil nutrient depletion. These conditions dramatically affect the qualitative and quantitative production, and increase the demand for chemical fertilizers. Unfortunately, what complicates things further is that the world currently recognizes a surge in fertilizer prices in general and especially those containing nitrogen. In addition, according to the World Bank, the rise in fertilizer prices is expected to continue. Therefore, there is an urgent need to seek effective, ecological, and sustainable alternatives to meet global nutritional needs.
