in the fertilizer industry

A Commitment to Sustainability

The U.S. fertilizer industry plays an indispensable role in feeding the world by providing essential crop nutrients that enable farmers around the globe to grow more food on less land. By boosting agricultural productivity, fertilizers help protect natural ecosystems, reducing the need to convert forests and grasslands into farmland while replenishing soil nutrients essential for healthier, more abundant crops.

We are not just keeping up with the future—we are helping shape it. Together, we are growing smarter, stronger, and more sustainable every day.

In partnership with growers, researchers, and policymakers, the industry is driving innovative solutions that balance productivity and sustainability. From nutrient management programs to cutting-edge carbon capture technologies, these industry efforts reflect a strong commitment to protecting natural resources and reducing environmental impacts.

The fertilizer industry is also continuously improving production efficiency, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and empowering growers with tools, research, and innovative fertilizer products to optimize nutrient use efficiency.

Companies within the fertilizer industry are a cornerstone of economic growth while remaining committed to creating a more sustainable agricultural future. Beyond sustainability, the fertilizer industry has a significant economic impact on the United States through job creation, the advancement of safety standards, and accelerating the transition to a clean energy economy.
