Read the original European Commission article on Europe’s plan to boost fertiliser supply and food security. It outlines new measures to help farmers manage rising fertiliser costs, improve access to essential inputs, support nutrient efficiency and encourage the use of sustainable and bio-based alternatives. The plan also focuses on reinforcing Europe’s domestic fertiliser industry, improving market transparency and helping secure long-term food security across the EU.
