Sustainability

We have put sustainability at the centre of our business model and in sharing our vision, we aim to work in partnership with our stakeholders to achieve common goals.

We aim to deliver industry-leading products and services that offer tangible solutions to identifiable problems, and help British farmers meet the challenge of increasing food production and protecting the environment.

Fertile Future

Fertile Future is our roadmap to sustainable agriculture.

Our core strategy is the development of science-led, innovative products and services which improve soil fertility, nutrient use efficiency and crop productivity, whilst also protecting the environment.

Fertile Future evaluates the role of soil and crop nutrients in sustainable agriculture, identifying the key environmental challenges and our solutions within the soil, air and water biospheres.

The Challenges

Air

Agriculture generates emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and atmospheric pollutants, both of which are closely connected to the management and use of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, from inorganic fertilisers and organic manures.

Soil

Fertile healthy soils are the foundation of sustainable agriculture, helping to balance food production and environmental enhancement. Soil degradation in the UK limits productivity and biodiversity, and increases the risks of flooding and greenhouse gas emissions leading to climate change.

Water

Sustainable agriculture requires sufficient clean water for food production, drinking and to support marine ecosystems. Diffuse pollution of nutrients from agriculture can have a significant detrimental impact on water quality and the marine environment. Surface and sub-surface run-off of nitrates and phosphates from organic manures, inorganic fertilisers and soil erosion are the primary concerns in the context of diffuse nutrient pollution.
