CLEAN FERTILIZERS A STRATEGY IN GROUND WATER PROTECTION

This study reviews current scientific literature and investigates the possible benefits of using green-fertilizers, whit the aim at reducing ground water pollution. The modern era whit significant rises in global population is putting pressure on all natural resources whit geometric progression on demand for food, that is translated to the agricultural system. In order to satisfy these needs, there has been a growing reliance on agrochemicals. The use of these chemicals has the advantage of boosting crop yields, but in the race for profit whit common irrational use, these molecules are responsible for severe environmental hazards. The most notable is the contamination of a natural resources like groundwater, translating its pollution in harmful effects throughout the food chain and general population health. Agriculture is both the aggressor and victim of groundwater pollution. Green fertilizer can become a line of defense against ground water pollution for a sustainable agriculture and a healthier environment.
