CF Industries

As one of the world’s largest manufacturers and distributors of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer products, CF Industries participates in an industry whose mission is fundamental to human survival:  putting food on the world’s table.  By providing plant nutrients to farmers, we feed the crops that feed the world.  The food produced from the plants our products nourish is as essential to human life as air and water.  We are proud of the role we play in fulfilling this critical mission.

One of the agricultural industry’s challenges is to realize the vital benefits of plant nutrients while minimizing any adverse impacts on the environment.  Growers can accomplish this by applying the appropriate products at optimal rates at the right time of year to areas known to need the specific nutrients.  CF Industries actively supports these and other best practices through industry associations that raise awareness of these principals through education programs.

The 4R Nutrient Stewardship program championed by The Fertilizer Institute (TFI), the Canadian Fertilizer Institute (CFI), the International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA), the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI), the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA), and the Illinois Fertilizer Association is such a program and one that we are proud to support.
