By 2050, the world population will exceed

9.3 billion

…With Growing Needs

To meet future food demands, we will need to increase crop production by an estimated

70%...

…while also meeting a growing demand for greater sustainability in agriculture

Why Sustainability in Agriculture?

•  Demand from consumers, governments, advocacy groups, large corporations

•  Finite resources (e.g., crop inputs, land) •  Global needs cannot be met by simply intensifying

current practices •  Environmental and financial benefits of efficient

nutrient use •  Sustainable practices can help growers responsibly

achieve yield gains
