The war in Iran has triggered a sharp rise in fertilizer costs, creating challenges for European farmers reliant on these inputs for crop production.

Regenerative farming practices, which emphasize sustainability and soil health, appear to be providing some resilience against these price fluctuations.

Farmers employing these methods are reportedly better positioned to navigate the volatility in fertilizer markets, suggesting a potential shift in agricultural strategies moving forward.
