Transforming the food system
Yara is helping transform the food system in Europe by capitalizing on over a century of agronomic knowledge. We provide farmers with best-in-class crop nutrition solutions, agronomic advice, and digital tools so they can optimize yields, grow healthier crops and reduce their carbon footprint. This benefits not only farmers but all players along the agrifood chain – from food companies who are working to meet their climate goals to consumers who want access to nutritious, sustainable food. Decarbonizing food production will be critical to delivering on the Paris Agreement – and farmers will play a key role in helping us get there.
Scaling up and speeding up
We already have climate-smart solutions and tools to build a more resilient food system. Now it’s crucial for industry and policymakers to work together to scale up these solutions. We believe in a European future powered by low-carbon food, decarbonized shipping and clean energy. To get there, EU policymakers will need to move from targets to incentives to speed up the green transition and secure Europe’s strategic autonomy in vital sectors. If they get it right, they can help ensure that European industry and agriculture remain competitive on the international stage and continue to play a central role in a low-carbon future.
A holistic approach is the best way forward:
Nutrient use efficiency
Farmers can reduce nutrient losses by improving nutrient use efficiency.
Soil health
Balanced crop nutrition together with good agricultural practices are crucial for maintaining soil fertility.
Climate change mitigation
Yara is working to reduce the carbon footprint of fertilizers, both during production and in the field.
Circular economy
Yara is working to find optimal ways to recycle nutrients that would otherwise end up as waste.
Cleaner air and water
By choosing the right fertilizing products, European farmers help reduce nutrient losses.
