Disruptions in fertilizer supply chains, especially nitrogen-based inputs critical for agriculture, are now threatening crop cycles worldwide. Warnings from humanitarian voices like José Andrés suggest the world could be heading toward a silent famine, as blocked trade routes and sanctions choke off supplies needed for farming. With tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalating, delays in fertilizer shipments risk missed planting seasons, reduced yields, and a cascading surge in global food prices.
