33% of global biodiversity hotspots are located in grassland regions threatened by agricultural expansion (Kan et al., 2026).
Between 20% and 35% of the world's terrestrial carbon is stored in grasslands, ecosystems currently under increasing agricultural pressure (Kan et al., 2026).
75% of the world's coffee is produced by just five countries: Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia (El País, 2026).
13% of the global conversion of natural ecosystems is concentrated in Brazil, the country with the highest recorded proportion (Kan et al., 2026).
Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia and Indonesia face an average of 144 days a year with heat that is harmful to coffee, almost four months under heat stress (El País, 2026).
2025 was the year in which urea dominated the U.S. nitrogenous fertilizer market as the product segment with the largest share.
USD 14,902.41 million is the projected size of the U.S. nitrogenous fertilizer market by 2035, up from USD 11,761.90 million in 2025, with a 2.39% CAGR from 2026 to 2035.
2025 was the year in which agricultural use was the leading end-use segment of the U.S. nitrogenous fertilizer market.
Precision agriculture, through GPS-enabled application technology, soil moisture measurement, and analytics tools, helps better target nitrogen applications, reduce waste, and improve nitrogen use efficiency.
AI enables growers to use less fertilizer while maintaining reliable crop yields by supporting precise nutrient management strategies under uncertain market conditions.
