¹ We define “sustainably engaged acres” as acres participating in programs that track field-level data, which can be analyzed for sustainability metrics and/or acres participating in sustainable agriproducts programs that incentivize growers to adopt additional sustainable practices and products resulting in quantifiable, incremental benefits which may be verified and used for reporting purposes.

² Low-carbon ammonia is ammonia made with direct GHG emissions typically reduced by approximately 60 percent but up to 80 percent compared to a conventional process, produced primarily utilizing carbon capture, utilization and storage (“CCUS”) or other low-emission production technologies; this definition does not include end product use.
