Dünger der Zukunft: Die Stickstoff-Revolution

Synopsis

Modern agriculture is unthinkable without nitrogen fertilizer—but its production has a massive environmental and climate impact. This documentary explores groundbreaking alternatives: Researchers in Europe and the United States are developing plants and microbes that extract nitrogen directly from the air, aiming to replace chemical fertilizers and reduce emissions. But how sustainable are these innovations? Can they feed a growing global population without creating new dependencies? The film takes us on a fascinating journey to the key hubs of a potential agricultural revolution.
