Momentum continues within the ag industry to
take unified and bold action on climate change and support of
sustainable food systems
Nutrien Ltd., (TSX and NYSE: NTR) the world’s largest provider
of crop inputs, services and solutions, is proud to announce it is
joining the Decade of Ag movement, a sector-wide effort,
facilitated by US Farmers and Ranchers in Action, to create a
shared vision for a resilient, climate-smart agricultural system
that produces sustainable food, fiber and energy systems for the
future.
By the year 2030, Nutrien aims to make key transformations
through ambitious commitments that drive systemic change and lead
the next wave of agricultural evolution, including:
- Enabling sustainable acres
- Reducing emissions
- Leveraging innovation and inclusion
- Scaling a carbon program

Nutrien joins Decade of Ag and USFRA as it works to elevate food
and agriculture as the primary solution for sustainability –
positioning farmers and ranchers as key change agents in this
important work to shape our future.
“The future needs food. And the only way we’re going to feed
everyone is to be a leader in the agriculture industry in
innovation and bold thinking. From the bottom of the mine to the
top of the silo, Nutrien is committed to growing a better world,”
said David Elser, Senior Vice President, Retail North America at
Nutrien Ag Solutions. “This effort will take all of us -
corporations, NGOs, scientists and industry. We don’t have time to
waste. Feeding the future has never felt more promising.”
U.S. Farmers and Ranchers in Action (USFRA) connects farmers and
ranchers to food and agriculture stakeholders to co-create
sustainable food systems. USFRA spotlights the important role
farmers and ranchers are taking in forging climate solutions with
help from science, experts, investors and partners.
“These leaders are stepping up in action to collaborate for
meaningful impact,” said USFRA CEO Erin Fitzgerald. “Nutrien knows
bold action is needed now to restore our environment through
agriculture to regenerate natural resources. This important step
forward not only shows Nutrien’s commitment to a better tomorrow
but that we’re grounded in a shared vision of what a decade of
success looks like and we’re able to go further and faster
together.”
