Without This Scientist, We Would Not Be Alive Today 🌾🧪🥼🌍

 

Fritz Haber, a German chemist, changed the world with his invention in the early 20th century. He found a way to make ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, which could then be used to create fertilizers. Before this, the nitrogen in soil was running out quickly, threatening crops and causing food shortages.

Haber's method, known as the Haber-Bosch process, allowed farmers to add nitrogen back into the soil, boosting crop growth and preventing famines. This invention has helped feed billions of people, making modern agriculture possible.

However, Fritz Haber also developed chemical weapons used in World War I, which caused many deaths. This makes his legacy a mix of saving lives through farming and taking lives through warfare.
