This agricultural revolution impacted farmers in high- and middle-income countries, but for some small-holder farmers in low-income countries, these expensive interventions are out of reach, leading to sizable yield gaps. Since the onset of the Green Revolution, this limitation has been overcome with the application of inorganic fertilisers, leading to massive improvements in agricultural output. The availability of reactive sources of Nitrogen (N) is one of the major limiting factors for crop production.
