Over the last 50 years, our use of phosphate based fertilizers has quadrupled. These are essential to modern agriculture, used especially for growing potatoes.
Most fertilizers come from Morocco, where the pollution from phosphate mines is poisoning local drinking supplies, causing birth defects in animals and health problems in children. But also present in most phosphate-based fertilizer is cadmium, a toxic heavy metal linked to kidney and bone disease.
A team of journalists, in collaboration with European scientists, set out to search for evidence of the extent of pollution in Morocco. They also want to see if the cadmium in these fertilizers is contaminating potatoes and entering the food chain. Their revelations will make the news and change the law.
In this investigation, the Green Warriors team reveal the implications of our addiction to cheap fertilizer.

Problem is not only in one person or company or nation. Problem is in all of us. Blaming others for pollution, while demanding perfectly shaped potato in a grocery stores is duplicitous. You need to use a lot more insecticides and who knows what to keep vegetables only looking beautiful. I see people in stores being appalled by a slightly wilted lettuce and not buying it, when you can easily put in a water for 30-60 minutes and it's fresh again. We all need to change.
Really incredible study, there needs to be more attention brought to these regulatory loopholes that corporations are exploiting at the expense of people's health.
I farm organically and do not poison anything but you must rember it is our government that approves the import.
Heroes, thank you for changing the world to be a better place
I often wondered about analyzing fertalizer to see what chemicals are present. I suspect it is not just metals that are the problem in fertalizer

Excellent work. Slainte.
money and greed will kill us...
They should read about the Big 5 pollution diseases of Japan, especially the Minamata disease.
Fluoride is the biggest problem with fertiliser
Perhaps From Trading Weapons...
Well yall wanted to go green sadly gone are the days of Sterile potash Fertiliser I still burn stuff and people bring me their coal ash never had sick plant or tree . I got huge dragonflies and bees there's a bee keeper down from me and he can't understand the massive difference in taste of the honey.
coal ash is filled with heavy metals, wood ash is too if the tree that once stood was growing on polluted soils and when you then burn the tree to ashes all the heavy metals get released
