Globally, around 20% of agricultural soils suffer from potassium deficiency, a fact that raises a critical question: Are we running out of potassium? While vast geological reserves exist, their accessibility, geopolitical concentration, and the ongoing depletion of soil nutrients present a complex challenge for global food security.
