Changing how you fertilize can be the first step in reducing emissions, improving air quality and reducing your carbon footprint. Yara’s nitrate-based solutions combine a high-quality product with precision technology to substantially improve the impact your farm has on the environment.
Caring for the land
Land is a limited resource. To feed future generations, farmers need to grow more on the same amount of land, while reducing any impact on the environment. Nitrate-based solutions provide a way to nurture both your crops and your soil. Giving plants the nutrition they need now and reaping benefits in the future.
Emissions would be
4.5 times higher
than they are now without chemical fertilizers because of the amount of land that would be deforested if farmers could not restore depleted land.
Yara's sustainability commitment
Reducing agriculture’s impact on the environment is something Yara is passionate about. We are working with farmers and our partners along the value chain to find ways to improve agricultural production and make it more sustainable.
| Energy efficiency. 90% of Yara’s total energy use comes from ammonia production. Recent upgrades to the majority of our plants have placed us among the most energy-efficient in the industry. | |
| Water conservation. Our research and development teams are dedicated to finding out how to provide optimum nutrition to plants with limited water availability. | |
| Climate commitment. Yara has a leading industry position on greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement and climate-smart agriculture. We have cut our GHG emissions by half since 2004 and can reduce the carbon footprint of crop production significantly. | |
| Green nitrates. Yara has committed to be carbon neutral by 2050. In conjunction with a leading food chain company, we will supply green (none fossil fuel-based) nitrogen by 2023. |
