An exploration of the Haber process — the monumental chemical reaction that turns nitrogen from the air into ammonia fertilizer, helping to feed billions. The lesson explains how this reaction boosted food production worldwide and then examines its unintended environmental impacts. It’s a story of chemistry’s double-edged sword: enabling modern agriculture while disrupting ecosystems.
