Our Role in Feeding the World

We live in an increasingly populous and prosperous world, one in which the accelerating demand for food is a powerful force. Today, the world's population is growing at a rate of about 1.1% per year. That might not sound like much, but it means we need to set the dinner table for an additional 73 million people each year. This population explosion poses a serious challenge to the food producers of the world.

Another factor driving the demand for food is increasing prosperity, particularly in the developing world. As millions of people continue to increase their earning power, a protein-rich diet is generally one of their first lifestyle improvements. The demand for more protein has a significant impact on grain and oilseed demand, as protein-based diets are more dependent on these products than carbohydrate-based diets.

Considering the ever-expanding world population, the increased demand for protein and the fact that there is limited arable land on our planet, the most efficient way to meet the increasing demand for food is to increase crop yields. That's where Mosaic comes in. Our crop nutrients can double, triple or even quadruple a farmer's yield per acre. Agronomists estimate that commercial crop nutrients directly account for 40% to 60% of crop yields. The optimum use of crop nutrients is essential to growing the food the world needs.

Our crop nutrition products are complemented by our customized services. From field mapping and soil testing to agronomic consulting and fertilizer blending innovations, our services provide real-world benefits to our customers.
