TFI member companies employ 4381 agronomic professionals within their organizations, at both retail and non-retail locations, with an average of 2.5 agronomists per location.

As fertilizers play a key role in global food security, there is a need to advance environmental stewardship efforts. At Yara, as part of our Growing a Nature-Positive Food Future ambition, we deliver reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the factory to the field. At the factory, Yara uses advanced technologies such as N2O abatement catalyst and renewable energy sources to produce low-emission fertilizers that minimize environmental impact. At the field level, Yara provides agronomic expertise on using our plant nutrition products to optimize nutrient efficiency and farm sustainability within the framework of 4R nutrient stewardship.
