The growing risk of eutrophication

The growing risk of eutrophication Eutrophication has been known about for many decades.  However, climate change and human population growth and improvements in living standards are making the situation worse.  More people, with high qualities of life, are placing more demands for food from farming. Fertilizers are critically important if we want more food from our crops growing on land.  However, climate change is leading to less stable weather conditions, creating conditions where fertilizers are more likely to be washed off the land.
