17 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Fertilizers | Our World in Data, published by ourworldindata.org. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. 12 of the 17 pairs (70.6%) are explanatory questions and 5 restate a figure. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

| How can fertilizers help reduce the amount of land used for agriculture? | fertilizers can increase crop yields | Fertilizers have played an essential role in feeding a growing global population. It's estimated that just under half of the people alive today are dependent on synthetic fertilizers. They can bring environmental benefits too: fertilizers can increase crop yields. By increasing crop yields we can reduce the amount ofland we use for agriculture. But they also create environmental pollution. Many countries overapply fertilizers, leading to the runoff of nutrients into water systems and ecosystems. A problem we need to tackle is using fertilizers efficiently: yielding its benefits to feed a growing population while reducing the environmental damage that they cause. On this page you can find all our data, visualizations, and writing relating to fertilizers. November 7, 2017 Around half of the world relies on synthetic fertilizers for food production. | 227 | relationship | 0.970 | They can bring environmental benefits too: fertilizers can increase crop yields. | p[0] | 0.700 | valid | |
