Other than the end of oil, here ends the phosphorus essential in agriculture, where famine ends are secured, with all the consequences that this brings. And according to some research which is extracted from the mines could not begin to provide more than enough for everyone within 30 to 40 years. This is reported in an article on Foreign Policy magazine, titled Peak Phosphorus, written by Elser and STUART JAMES WHITE. Another interesting thing the article points out that 90% of these mines are located in five countries: Morocco, China, South Africa, Jordan and the United States. Also interesting is the comparison made by the OPEC cartel: 12 countries that control 75% of world reserves in the world. The article ends by listing the possible measures that can be taken to preserve this fundamental element.
