FAQ About Fritz Haber

The Haber-Bosch process had a profound impact on agriculture by dramatically increasing the availability of ammonia fertilizers. Before its development, sources of nitrogen for fertilizers were limited and insufficient to support the growing global demand for food. The ability to synthesize ammonia led to a significant increase in crop yields, supporting larger populations and transforming agricultural practices worldwide. This process is often credited with sustaining the global population boom of the 20th century.
