Phosphorus is crucial for crop production and is a key component in phosphate-based fertilizers needed to feed the world's growing population. Phosphate rock, the main source of phosphorus for fertilizers, is predicted to peak around 2033, with reserves expected to be depleted within 100 years. However, this prediction is based on insufficient data, particularly from the USGS, which collects data second-hand from secretive industries. The models also ignore the impact of sustainability measures like efficient use, recovery, and recycling on reserve life and peak production. The study suggests that estimates should be based on individual country data rather than global data to be meaningful. The review aims to provide new perspectives on phosphorus production peaks and reserve depletion by offering in-depth information on these concepts. Phosphorus is the most limiting nutrient for crop production due to phosphorus-deficient soils, requiring phosphatic fertilizers and manure. Despite its abundance in nature, phosphorus is only available in limited quantities in the soil as it is slowly released from insoluble phosphates. Phosphorus in fertilizers comes from limited phosphate rock, which can only be mined in a few countries. Studies predict that phosphorus production will peak in 2033, after which production will decline, and the remaining reserves will have low-grade phosphorus content, making fertilizers expensive and unaffordable. These predictions use Hubbert-style curve modeling. Despite the threat, there has been minimal discussion, research, and policy addressing phosphorus availability for global food production. The review aims to refute claims about phosphorus peak production and reserve depletion. It covers elemental phosphorus, its biochemical role, utility, industrial applications, global reserves, reserve depletion timelines, production peaks, loss routes, and sustainability measures. The study used data from USGS and IFDC, and relevant publications were obtained from online platforms. The study considered only English-language publications and full-text research articles. The study found that phosphorus is abundant in the earth's crust, but its economically recoverable reserves are limited. Phosphorus is essential for all living organisms and is vital for food production. It is an essential constituent in a wide range of substances, from inorganic to organic, and a key component of food and dairy products. Phosphorus is one of the essential elements in all living organisms and can be found in many biological systems.Phosphorus is crucial for crop production and is a key component in phosphate-based fertilizers needed to feed the world's growing population.
