The carbon footprint of food begins long before products reach shelves, factories, or reporting systems. It starts with how crops are grown including the choice of crop nutrition. As the food value chain works to reduce Scope 3 emissions and carbon footprint of food, choosing *lower-carbon fertilisers offers an important upstream lever for credible climate action.
Yara Climate Choice ™ Fertilisers make it possible to reduce emissions where food production begins: at the source. Produced using lower-carbon ways such as with carbon capture and storage or renewable ammonia, they deliver verified, scalable emission reductions across the food value chain, without changes to farming practices or logistics.
*Lower product carbon footprint when compared with conventional Yara fertilizers produced without CCS or renewable technologies.
A practical way to decarbonise food, starting at the source
For many food value chain companies, Scope 3 emissions represent a major share of their climate footprint. Yet, moving from ambition to action can be complex, costly, and difficult to implement at scale.
Yara works with growers, food companies, crop processors, retailers, and other partners in the food chain to reduce Scope 3 emissions at the source with Yara Climate Choice ™ Fertilisers, making lower-carbon food production credible, scalable, and actionable. Today.
Yara Climate Choice ™ Fertilisers offer a practical,way to decarbonise food value chain. By reducing the carbon footprint of fertilisers, without requiring changes to farming practices, logistics, or product performance, Yara Climate Choice ™ fertilisers support progress toward climate targets, including SBTi targets, and help make Scope 3 progress more accessible across the food value chain.
