Excessive mineral fertilizers

Agricultural pollution is a significant problem in our present system of food production. The interminable use of chemical fertilizers is accelerating many interrelated problems like soil pollution, water pollution and air pollution, thus affecting the future of our planet and humanity. The deleterious effect of the chemical fertilizers will itself start from the manufacturing of these chemicals, whose products, and by products will cause air pollution. And when farms discharge large quantities of agrochemicals, organic matter, drug residues, sediments and saline drainage into nearby water bodies it will cause water pollution. It also includes the most devastating effect of chemical waste accumulation in the water bodies i.e., the water eutrophication. And when chemical fertilizers are added in soil, its continuous use degrades the soil health and quality hence causing soil pollution. Therefore, it is time to realize that this crop production input is depleting our environment and ecosystem. Hence its continuous use without taking any remedial measure to reduce or judicious use will deplete all the natural resources one day and will threaten all the life from the earth.
