We believe we have unique capabilities in the agricultural value chain because we have direct relationships with our farmer customers. From pre-season planning to facilitating post-harvest verification, we focus on farmers’ needs by providing customized farm management solutions (products, services, technology, and programming) to help improve crop productivity while minimizing impact on the environment. Across our footprint, we tailor our global approach to meet regional needs. By identifying core activities, such as conducting field-level data analyses for our customers, we strive to validate and verify measurable outcomes such as crop performance, nutrient use efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, soil health and water quality and use, if applicable.

Nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are essential in helping plants grow. One source of nutrients is fertilizers. When fertilizers are applied to fields, we promote best management practices that strive to improve crop yields and farming economics while mitigating potential environmental impacts. Two questions we are frequently asked:
To help keep products and nutrients where they are most effective, reduce losses to the environment and support economical product application, we promote best practices in nutrient application.

Nitrogen fertilizer application can produce two types of GHG emissions: carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrous oxide (N₂0). CO₂ is released from urea forms of nitrogen fertilizer because it is part of the urea molecule. N₂O is released when nitrate forms of nitrogen fertilizer are converted by microorganisms in the soil. In both cases, managing nitrogen fertilizer is critical to reducing emissions from agriculture.
