Building knowledge for future yields<br />
The use of mineral<br />
fertilizer is essential<br />
for sustainable<br />
agriculture. It<br />
stimulates plant<br />
growth, increases<br />
CO 2<br />
uptake in the<br />
soil, and helps to<br />
preserve natural<br />
land from being<br />
converted into<br />
cropland.<br />
Yara’s measures<br />
to reduce GHG<br />
emissions include<br />
a pioneering<br />
use of life cycle<br />
assesments in<br />
agriculture. that<br />
includes energy<br />
efficiency of plants,<br />
best farming<br />
practice and<br />
fertilizer application<br />
techniques.<br />
Yara’s well proven<br />
N 2<br />
O catalyst<br />
technology is<br />
the solution of<br />
choice for reducing<br />
greenhouse<br />
gas emissions<br />
from nitric acid<br />
production, with<br />
N 2<br />
O reductions of<br />
up to 90 percent.<br />
Its success builds<br />
on more than 15<br />
years of dedicated<br />
research effort.<br />
<strong>Climate</strong> change, population growth and consumption patterns challenge food security.<br />
To meet future food demand with limited land and water resources, world agricultural<br />
productivity has to be maximised. Yara International ASA, the global leader in<br />
mineral fertilizer and crop nutrition knowledge recognizes the connection between<br />
energy, climate and food, and contributes to solving major global challenges.<br />
