Greenpeace is currently investigating the manufacture of phosphate fertiliser in Sichuan province, China.
Chemical fertilizers play an integral role in industrial agriculture and food production. However, its manufacture has proven to be highly polluting, to contribute to wide-spread environmental contamination and to cause distress for local communities living in the vicinity of the production facilities. The shoot includes images of farmers and farming activities involving the use of fertilizers in Hainan province, China.
