Food safety, soils and manure: How a systemic approach can prevent health risks
Why it matters: Soil acidification reduces agricultural yields in many parts of the world, including China.
- Soil acidification is a widespread issue, particularly in China, leading to decreased agricultural productivity.
- Recycling animal manure is identified as a crucial element of circular agriculture, helping to mitigate soil acidification.
- This approach, despite its benefits, also carries inherent downsides related to health risks.
Soil acidification is a growing problem globally, including in China, significantly reducing agricultural yields. While recycling animal manure offers a promising solution to counteract this acidification and promote circular agriculture, this practice also introduces potential health risks.
