A lot of TED content has this

ingenuity wins again

[@chrismanspeaker9372]

So I got to write a paper on sustainable agricultural practices. Hint, there isn't any. Almost the entire process is unsustainable, from use of artificial fertilizers, insecticides, run off and erosion, to phosphorous sourcing, to cover crops and yes even the precious herbicide. This talk was nothing more than a trade show presentation on "we are doing fine" before the company declares bankruptcy.

Can you share your paper?

[@teshometefera3100]

Great, sustainability always achieved through integrated nutrient management, mainly from less application of inorganic fertilizer

[@kpskpskk1]

US population is 7.8 billion?

[@marinabaskakova2333]

He probably misspoke, meaning word population

[@gulnet-xp6up]

he would mean, world population, think so.

[@bgeigleg2508]

I think you may be surprised to see the population of the world isn't going to increase as much as you think. In fact, it may start to decrease in a little bit.

I think Sri Lanka had bigger problems, and they were getting unable to afford fertilisers, so their government banned it
