The pressure is mounting on everyone across the chain, from growers to global brands, to reduce their environmental footprint.
What if the food on your plate could help heal the planet? In a world where the food supply chain is responsible for around 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions, sustainability is no longer a ‘nice to have’ — it’s a necessity. What if the solution isn’t producing less but producing smarter?
Sustainable food system transformation
At Yara, we’re redefining what’s possible in food production. As a global leader in crop nutrition, we’ve been helping to feed the world for over a century. Now, we’re using that legacy to lead a new kind of transformation, one that puts sustainability at the centre of food systems. We want to partner with food brands, processors, retailers and growers who are ready to turn climate ambition into meaningful action.
This is real, measurable progress —

to make rapid headway on their sustainability goals.
Low-emission fertiliser innovation
The facts are clear. Fertilisers contribute around 11% of food-related emissions (FAOSTAT 2020). They’re also essential to feeding a growing population. The challenge lies in decarbonising this critical part of the supply chain without compromising yields or standards.
The solution? Yara’s premium fertilisers already carry up to 60% lower emissions than other products available in the market, thanks to our pioneering nitrous oxide (N₂O) abatement technology. This is a proven innovation that has been reducing emissions for over a decade. Now, we’re raising the bar again. By producing fertilisers using green ammonia made from water, air and renewable energy, we can reduce the carbon footprint of fertiliser by up to 90%.
The result? A 30% reduction in the carbon footprint of crops grown with these Climate Choice fertilisers. This is real, measurable progress — available today — for companies looking to make rapid headway on their sustainability goals.
Low-carbon, digitally supported agriculture
Gareth Flockhart, Key Account Manager UK, explains that we don’t stop at the product. “Yara combines low-carbon solutions with in-field agronomic expertise and cutting-edge digital tools. From soil health and nutrient planning to precision application and data-driven decisions, we equip farmers and food chain partners with the tools they need. This holistic crop nutrition approach can deliver a lower carbon footprint and increase efficiency without compromising on yield or quality.”
