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
