The fertiliser crisis nobody's connecting to their food bill - Peter Meek - Head of Engineering breaks it down

As geopolitical instability reshapes global supply chains, one crisis is quietly building that most people haven't connected to their daily lives yet: fertiliser.

Australia imports nearly 100% of its nitrogen fertiliser. Much of it flows through some of the world's most unstable regions. And fertiliser prices are directly tied to natural gas markets — meaning every energy shock eventually shows up on your plate.

HydGene Head of Engineering Peter Meek has launched a new series on LinkedIn exploring why the chemical industry is overdue for a fundamental rethink — and what a better model looks like.

The first article, The fertiliser crisis nobody's connecting to their food bill...yet, traces the structural dependency that locks global food security to fossil fuel markets and geopolitically sensitive supply chains - and asks whether it has to be this way.

This is the problem HydGene was built to solve.

Peter's series will run weekly on LinkedIn. Follow Peter Meek and HydGene Renewables to stay across the conversation.
