| Agriculture Agriculture refers to the production of food and goods through farming and forestry. Agriculture was the key development that led to the rise of civilization, with the husbandry of domesticated animals and plants (i.e. crops) creating food surpluses that enabled the development of more densely populated and stratified societies. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science (the related practice of gardening is studied in horticulture). Agriculture | |
| Haber process Haber process, also called the Haber–Bosch process, is the nitrogen fixation reaction of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas, over an enriched iron catalyst, to produce ammonia. The Haber process is important because ammonia is difficult to produce on an industrial scale, and the fertilizer generated from the ammonia is responsible for sustaining one-third of the Earth's population.

| Fertilizer Fertilizers are chemical compounds applied to promote plant and fruit growth. Fertilizers are usually applied either through the soil (for uptake by plant roots) or, by foliar feeding (for uptake through leaves).Fertilizers can be placed into the categories of organic fertilizers (composed of decayed plant/animal matter), or inorganic fertilizers (composed of simple chemicals and minerals).

| Plant nutrition Plant nutrition is the study of the chemical elements that are necessary for plant growth. There are several principles that apply to plant nutrition. Some elements are directly involved in plant metabolism (Arnon and Stout, 1939). However, this principle does not account for the so-called beneficial elements, whose presence, while not required, has clear positive effects on plant growth. Plant_nutrition | |
| Melamine This article is about the chemical substance called melamine. The term "melamine" may also be used to refer to the plastic melamine resin. Melamine | |
| Micronutrient Micronutrients are nutrients needed throughout life in small quantities. They are dietary minerals needed by the human body in very small quantities (generally less than 100micrograms/day) as opposed to macrominerals which are required in larger quantities. The Microminerals or trace elements include at least iron, cobalt, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, selenium, zinc and molybdenum. Note that the use of the term "mineral" here is distinct from the usage in the geological sciences. Micronutrient | |
| Ostedijk The Ostedijk is a Dutch cargo ship that sent out a distress call on 17 February 2007 when it was about 20 km off the northwestern tip of Spain (east of Estaca de Bares)The ship was transporting 6,012 tons of a fertilizer NPK 15-15-15C from Porsgrunn, Norway to the Spanish Mediterranean city of Valencia.

| Zinc deficiency Zinc deficiency also known as hypozincemia is a condition where insufficient zinc is available for metabolic needs. Copenhagen Consensus from an international panel of distinguished economists.It is usually nutritional, but can also be associated with malabsorption, acrodermatitis enteropathica, chronic liver disease, chronic renal disease, sickle cell disease, diabetes, malignancy, and other chronic illnesses. It can also occur after bariatric surgery. Zinc_deficiency | |

| List of global sustainability statistics Site under development - please add to this list where appropriateGlobal sustainability statistics are benchmarks for measuring the status of sustainability parameters. The following agencies provide baseline data for sustainability governance. They are just one form of data used for sustainability accounting and are valuable for assessing trends and measuring progress. This list provides sources of statistics at the global level of governance only. List_of_global_sustainability_statistics | |
| International Fertilizer Industry Association The International Fertilizer Industry Association or IFA is a not-for-profit trade association that represents the global fertilizer industry, on issues related to the promotion of plant nutrients, improvement of the operating environment of the member companies and the collection and compilation of industry information.IFA members serve farmers everywhere as they meet the world's growing food, feed, fibre and bioenergy needs in a sustainable manner.

| Farming First Farming First is a call-to-action, a 6-point action plan, for policymakers and practitioners to develop a locally sustainable value chain for global agriculture. It emphasises knowledge networks and policies centred on helping subsistence farmers become small-scale entrepreneurs.The principles presented in Farming First have been developed by an agricultural coalition made up of 3 of the 9 Major Groups to the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (Farmers, Scientist, Business & Industry).
