You cannot feed 8 billion people with the arable land that we have available without synthetic fertilizer.

Even if we were to Thanos snap the world population and feed those people with only compost/manure/night soil, a large percentage of the labor force would need to go into food production, and cheap food would no longer be a possibility.
Farmers are using all the manure that they have available in the most efficient manner that the market will bear right now and even then I don’t know about any for profit farmer in my extension office who doesn’t use additional synthetic fertilizer.
Yeah and it didn’t have an affect on slavery as a market force at all.
The Caribbean slave colonies were still the biggest profit producing colonies that the European powers had because of their cane sugar production.
Little people like us sure can help, but what we really need is government policy to force change. There are always going to be too many people driven by cost rather than the ethics of an issue.
