    查看更多>>摘要:This review addresses the growing disparity between the current state of fertilizer production in China and the evolving demands of green agriculture in the 21st century.It explores major advances in fertilizers,proposes the concept of green intelligent fertilizers and develops new strategies aligned with the principles of green development in fertilizer industry and agriculture.Green intelligent fertilizers may be designed to maximize the synergistic effects among plants,soils,microorganisms,nutrient sources and the environment.This concept emphasizes the integration of industry and agriculture toward green development for entire industry chain,using an interdisciplinary approach to drive the green transformation of fertilizer industry,and promote green and sustainable development of agriculture.By bridging the gap between the current state of fertilizer industry and a growing need for environmentally responsible agricultural practices,this review highlights a path toward harmonizing fertilizer production with the imperatives of green agriculture.

    查看更多>>摘要:A recent UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)analysis indicated a significant regression in the global SDG goal scores,particularly in SDG 2—Zero Hunger.The emissions of environmental pollution caused by meeting food demands have prompted some countries to intensify their climate change mitigation efforts.These circumstances have introduced significant uncertainty to the future global sustainable food development.Additionally,a notable global challenge is the persistence of hidden hunger,primarily characterized by the insufficient consumption of high-quality animal protein.Addressing this issue would necessitate increased environmental costs to attain high-quality food security.The future food system presents a significant challenge in coordinating food security,food quality and environmental quality.This article presents a comprehensive review and proposes a three-step strategy for future agricultural development based on food security,quality,and environmental aspects.This is a novel food system transfer strategy,as it concurrently addresses both global food security and environmental thresholds.It involves the construction of an efficient food system that operates within the constraints of environmental limits.The objective is to align with global SDG indicators and to maintain natural resource consumption and pollutant emissions within planetary boundaries.
