Toxic algae blooms are fueled by polluted runoff from industrial farms that spread nitrogen + phosphorus fertilizers on their fields.
“The scientific and just response to the nitrogen problem is to shift from fossil fuel chemical agriculture to biodiverse ecological agriculture and regenerative farming and to create transition strategies for farmers to shift to ecological agriculture, which regenerates soil nitrogen while making farmers free of harmful and costly chemicals.” — Vandana Shiva, Ph.D.

But the agency’s "One Health" approach to HAB surveillance fails to address agrochemical causes.
