Resilient and Innovative Agriculture

Agriculture, worldwide, is facing unprecedented challenges. The world’s population is growing and expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. Meanwhile, food security is decreasing, as broad regions experience the effects of climate change and resource scarcity. ICL’s products and solutions are key to meeting future nutritional requirements. The Global population now exceeds 7.5 billion and is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050 - an additional 2 billion mouths to feed with no more than the existing farmland already cultivated.[...]

Controlled Release Fertilizers

ICL is a global leader in controlled release fertilizers. Plants can use nutrients from Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRFs) with great efficiency. Thanks to the high nutrient use efficiency of CRFs and their precise, localized application (at the plant’s root zone), growers worldwide can reduce their fertilizer usage and simultaneously achieve higher quality crops and yields with a lower environmental impact. The use of CRFs can reduce the total use of fertilizers by 20% to even 50% as well as significantly[...]

The main initiatives include[...]

Energy

ICL strives to continuously improve energy efficiency and decrease its emissions. It is doing so by increasing its use of clean and renewable energy, utilizing highly efficient electricity production units (natural gas- based cogeneration) and implementing multi-year energy efficiency programs. All industrial activity requires energy. ICL's Energy consumption is both direct and indirect. Direct energy is energy produced by fuel combustion, mainly used to operate steam boilers, electricity generators and similar installations at ICL production sites, as well as fuel[...]
