- It might be the most important invention in human history. The Haber-Bosch process allows us to turn nitrogen from the air into fertilizer for our food. It's had such an extraordinary impact on our lives, it led to an explosion in the human population.

What a legacy.
Seems like there was some chemistry between Haber and Bosch.
Best comment!
He had to fall back on someone after his wife committed suicide.
i see what you did there...
*WW3: How the Earth’s Population Exploded*
It's the other way around: the Earth's human overpopulation will lead to WW3
I agree
Literally
A war for survive.. Fuckg great
Those animals looked so healthy than how they looked know. Also, their ancestors were kidnapped and now those animals are raped and private parts are chipped or cut off they plus they’re future children will die.
Visuals and gfx on point..well done 👏
building soil can have better returns and even absorb more added fertilizers, we have to stop throwing fertilizer on what has become basically sand.
Yeah nitrogen fertilizer is what we need

Green revolution was certainly a requirement for population explosion, but the real kicker was near elimination of child mortality. The average family used to have 5-10 children and the population did not explode, most kids never made it to adulthood and while lack of food was often the cause, it wasn't the most common cause. Simple diseases were.
Enter sanitation, antibiotics and vaccines and suddenly it could reasonably be expected that a newborn would actually make it to adulthood, of course the population exploded until wealth and education reduced fertility rates.
More people should try their hand at genealogy, see how their ancestors were doing couple of centuries ago. Some old cemetery records actually bother listing kids, it's quite the insight to the past.
Green revolution was a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing. It introduced harmful pesticides all over the world. The world is slowing undoing damage caused by green revolution by going organic.
@@c5097170 It's also the reason why you are not a peasant living off of subsistence farming. I don't know about you, but personally I quite enjoy not wasting my life doing backbreaking work on a small patch of land. Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and so on might be a bit of an issue, but they are nothing compared to misery our ancestors had to put up with in order to stave off starvation.
No that has been refuted by archeological evidence by scholars. In spite of child morality, high food production kept the population going.
Of course, that’s true in a way. Those people had to be born and survive childhood. However, the physical bodies couldn’t exist if the food to build them wasn’t there….
To prevent eutrophication from fertilisers, runoff must be limited. It could be as simple as planting hedgerows or trees, or varying the crop to allow fibrous plant material to remain in the soil holding it together.
Eutrophication can completely destroy an aquatic habitat that has slow moving water, such as a lake.
Soil is also a valuable commodity which is flowing out to sea due runoff.
This is why I’m studying sustainable agriculture in college. Important future market
Very informative and well produced video! Thanks!
great presentation. thank you!

Also the incredible scientific achievements of Nobel Laureate Norman Borlaug, father of the Green Revolution.
Huano and Saltpeter never runed out, it was the arms race that forced germans to produce cheap nitrate for explosives because the british had the control of south american natural nitrate
We will have to wait about 12 years for the next vid;
How the Earth’s population collapsed.
So it may go down
This will age poorly, like previous malthusian predictions.

Hope you are right as the alternative means we wont be here
It will be gradual and will hit stable number. There won't be any catastrophic population decrease unless asteroid hits earth.
Thats why they say our food lacks minerals and nutrients
Modern bathrooms. We stopped composting our human and animal waste and putting it back on the soil.
This means that every crop sold depleted the soil of minerals and nutrients, until after about 10 years, the farm could not profitably produce anymore.
Now we mine the nutrients left by ancient forests using a lot of ancient fuels to grow our crops. And the mining process causes corrosive toxic waste and sinkholes.
We still use human waste for farming. They are called biosolids which is basically just human excrement that has been treated and processed to eliminate bacteria. If done right biosolids are better for the environment, the only issue is that we don't produce enough biosolids to keep up with the demand for fertilizers and per pound it is cheaper to mine for phosphorus and potassium than it is process human excrement.
Androfier
What goes down toilets is contaminated with toilet cleaners, Drain cleaners, drugs, and often street salt and car oil.
Its safe and efficient to compost manures.
The microbiome doesn't need to be destroyed, just managed well.
The mining process creates enormous pools of extremely corrosive and toxic sludge that causes huge sinkholes around the world.
@@ideoformsun5806 Sinkholes aren't created by the waste pits. The waste pits are dug deliberately to hold the waste. You might want to do some reading on how these things work before touting your strange vision for the future.
The title could be very misleading
Why do we mine potash then? Isn't the HB process far less expensive?
Thank you mr Bosch
Sure more food equal more people
But what causing population explode is improved health with soo many drugs we invented
Be sure to read "The Alchemy of Air" by Thomas Hager, especially if your first reaction is to say, "Yes, but child mortality" or "Yes, but the green revolution" and so on.

Vertical farms is the answer.
farms to bedrock and to the sky limit is what we really need
@@fendelt838 I never actually thought of vertical going downwards. But that's an interesting point, it would certainly maximize the amount of production.
@@Mavish11it's great because you use a tiny space that can be multiplied by how tall you make it
Great and by doing that we can focus on mining and build rather than focusing on how we gonna eat all day
@Chief Thundrecock done right, it's cheaper than traditional farming because it's grown within walking distance of where it's consumed.

Fathered the chemical warfare and then fathered the population growth
That's one misleading title.
"load up on bird droppings"
Well... now population growth is stagnating in the west and much of Asia.
I just think that the fear of population explosion in the future might be wrong. There have been experiments on the effects of utopia societies on rodents; the population first explodes, as expected. Then after a year or two, growth rate starts decreasing. Eventually the population dies.
Humans are obviously more sophisticated and complex than rodents. But the negative correlation between economic development and rate of population growth is consistent( and worrisome). I don’t think humans will go extinct because we will become too advanced. What’s causing the population growth rate to slow might be entirely different from the rodents in the experiments.
BUT, it could be our fate as a species. It could be the reason why advanced societies don’t survive for very long.
Brainjock You forgot to add " for China"
@@theonlycaulfield China's economy is growing but their population isn't growing very fast. Same thing happens almost everywhere. Economic growth raises living standards and education and opportunities and people choose to have less kids. Happened to Europe, happened to North America, happened to Japan, happening in China, India and South America and one day it will happen to Africa too.
In fact, the growth rate of the world population skyrocketed from 0.6% in 1920 to 2.1% in about 1970 but has been in decline since then, reaching 1.2% in 2015. That means that the population is still growing but at a lower rate. The UN's medium projection puts overall population at levelling off by the end of this century.
but sadly due to the stagnating, the western government literally imports people from africa and middle east making population boom in those country
China is overpopulating other countries too. Look at Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore
Humans: Most countries are not starving and the population is steady.
Bloomberg: Save the turtles.
Ironic.
Fascinating
We need to solve this problem = africa , Asia and south America .
@RizzY Vlogs because this is the reason of overpopulation. It'll be a disaster . Immigration .
You've been commenting continuously on this page mentioning Africa and Asia over and over, I guess ignorance and racism go hand in hand... compare population density by country and apply critical thinking, might be hard for you, but try it... As for you, if Evil people like you are starved, hopefully we can feed more humane mouths...
@@judesyle5687 facts don't feel your feelings .

@@aleksslopanovs lol... apparently you don't know anything about math or statistics, if you did, you'll know that the countries with highest population densities don't support your narrative
As a species, we're fucked no matter what.
Simple demographics and elementary math indicate that population will peak at 10 billion.

@ls7orBust2 Says who?
@ls7orBust2 Well said.
Carrying capacity of this planet for us is about
Now the problem is the birthrate decrease
Still high in most of african countries
So high in developing countries but low in developed countries
Given that the haber-bosch process is acheived using non renewable resources, which will inevitably run out, there is no problem in a birthrate decrease apart from it happening too slowly.
Birthrate decrease is due to lengthened life span and improved mortality rates
The problem is we've created an economic system that wants exponential growth all the time and that just doesn't happen in real life and can't accommodate a natural stabilization in population and birth rates.
A mismatch between title and content
About title- Actually it's how humans' population exploded
this forgets to mention vaccines and antibiotics plus other advances that keep people alive.
Jethro tull ! All this catch hes the inventor that ignited mass farming millions of acres . The tiller was enormous in production and turning soil at fast pace .planters plows tractors all s0arng from Jethro lol
Hmmm sabaton father in a nutshell
all the talks on food but still people are having difficulty getting food. Why is that?
Distribution problem.
@@Mayurbhedru true to some perspectives. I believe the problem exist somewhere else.
Greed.
The alternative to industrial, unsustainable farming is to bring back natural fisheries through international fishing quotas.
We would not even need to farm on land if we farmed kelp and mussels on water and took care of the natural fisheries.
That why we need THANOS!
Animals are really efficient at turning plant material - mostly plants we cannot eat - into meat protein. If we have to get all of our protein from plants and not from meat, won't that increase the pressure on agriculture and the need for more fertilizers?
Less land would be needed with solely a plant based diet. It is more to do with the energy flow in a system. Land is required for livestock feed.
Say plants have 100 energy units and as a generalisation the conversion between trophic levels (of the food chain) is 10:1.
100 plant units support 10 animal units which support 1 human unit.
100 plant units support 10 human units.

population growth will come back to haunt us, world population is proportional to pollutant levels

Chemicals engineering winning a lost war :/
Explain
We have made the earth so much more fertile than it would otherwise be. Eventually this extra nitrogen that would never make it into the circle of life is broken down and returned to nature allowing for dense forests and more heavily populated oceans.
Jethro tull had a big impact .your really forgetting the big difference.none of this matters when you could farm millions of of acres .
It will be gone before we know it

WTF was he talking about for the first 40 seconds

Why shopping footage is from Russia?
Why not?
permaculture..
Less people alive = Less suffering overall. One child policy for long enough to reduce population.
damn,,,
Someone get Thanos!
it's coming in 2030
Not one mention to reduce impact is have lower family numbers as well as lessen meat consumption. Once all the livestock has gone and nothing but humans, when will enough humans be enough? Most animal species that out grow their environment are called pests.
Are you have to do is sit in one bad traffic jam to see that we are overpopulated
Come to East Asia to see the extreme
That's humans being bad at driving. It sometimes takes someone that cutts off.
Nope, I still stick to my guts that population explosion is due to greed and single minded focus of one religion that we all know and don't want to discuss it. Example, North and North West Africa. I rest my case.
Americans should eat less beef and we'd be cutting our emissions greatly. Switch to Chicken or Pork.
Nobody is going to eat less beef because of emissions. We need practical solutions. Not impractical fancy solutions.
@@V1Pin u eat pork, it's 2/3 the emission,. Chicken is a mere 1/3. No one's telling you it's a fancy solution. You should be taxed according to the emission your meat cause.
And then you remember that Africa isn’t a country
Dumb People Think Africa Is A Country
And all the Mexican countries

why dont farmers use rhizobia/nitrogen fixing plants and bacteria for there nitrogen needs is it really necessary to use artificial fertilizers ? I really don't think so ....
It is more faster to produce synthetic nitrogen rather than natural bacterial nitrogen,so food production is high and beneficial for farmers .
Eat less meat and help our environment! Meatless Mondays are my favorite!
Meatless tacos?
@ls7orBust2 Why not both?
I’ll never give up my Filet Mignon. Fuck off.
The environment is fine. Earth has survived much worse than cow farts.
You don't need to eat Filet Mignon every day.
Overconsumption of meat is linked to cancer and heart disease. Man is consuming more meat than ever before in history, with the exception of Eskimos, but the life expectancy of an Eskimo _today_ is still short.
