Arlington, VA – The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) announced today that the Fluid Fertilizer Foundation (FFF) has been merged into the Fertilizer Education, Research, and Training (FERT) Foundation, a strategic transition designed to advance fluid fertilizer research and education while enhancing industry collaboration and outreach.
“Integrating FFF into the FERT Foundation aligns with our mission of supporting and advocating for proactive scientific research rooted in 4R nutrient stewardship focused on innovation and sustainability, and to communicate research outcomes with stakeholders in policy, public, and industry circles,” said TFI president and CEO Corey Rosenbusch. “We are excited to welcome FFF’s legacy into our organization and take the work they’ve done to the next level with our comprehensive network and professional staff.”
Being acquired by the FERT Foundation provided FFF with the best opportunity to have ongoing research adequately supported and to educate the public about the role fluid fertilizers play in modern agriculture.
“This decision ensures that the research and educational efforts surrounding fluid fertilizers will not only continue but thrive,” said Dr. Zack Ogles, Chairman of the FFF Board of Directors. “The FERT Foundation provides an ideal platform to elevate the impact of fluid fertilizers within the broader agricultural community.”
