If this pans out as economical, it will be huge. It will reduce the work needed to grow crops, making food affordable, while at the same time reducing environmental damage on a large scale. The dead patch in the gulf might begin to shrink rather than grow...

Slow release fertilizers aren't news, what is news is this particular kind of slow release.

'Reduces environmental damage' meaning it causes environmental damage.
