Our linear system reduced our potential to produce the food we need.

The biogas industry has a huge potential to increase production but the nitrogen content in the resources is a challenge and the amount of phosphorus in the residue can’t be used due to much phosphorus in the ground. At the same time, we see that the egg industry is struggling to get phosphorus to meet the demand, is it only rich people that should afford to buy eggs in the future?

It will be our seas that will need to produce more food in the future, but both the challenges are piling up. Increased methane leakage, the combination of too much phosphorus and nitrogen in our coast areas stops the possibility to produce the food we need. 

Let’s turn these challenges into possibilities, with the Nordics leading the way. One key understanding is that in order to produce the food we need we will need more nutrients and both potassium and phosphorus are a scarce resource, when it comes to phosphorus, we know that the world by 2100 will only have one reserve in the world to use – if we do not start to recycle and use the resources we have already put into use over and over again.
