Answer

Nearly half of the world's population relies on the Haber-Bosch process for their food. This process, developed by German chemist Fritz Haber in 1909, uses nitrogen and hydrogen to create ammonia, which is then used to make fertilizer. Without this process, it would be much more difficult to grow enough food to feed the world's population.
