The fertilizer industry helps to overcome agricultural challenges, and facilitates increased crop yields on existing agricultural land, preventing excess conversion of natural habitats into agricultural land. As a major producer of fertilizers and specialty fertilizers, ICL’s products enhance yields and improve crop quality, increase nutrient use efficiency (more fertilizer is taken up by crops) as well as reduce water consumption (H2Flo) and protect the environment by minimizing losses (leaching and volatilization) of nutrients. 2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production[...]

In 2012, ICL introduced a new multi-nutrient fertilizer, Polysulphate, which is available to plants in its natural state. Available in its natural form, polyhalite (marketed as Polysulphate™ fertilizer) is UK-sourced and has a low carbon footprint. It delivers dependable high value, for low environmental impact. It is a natural, sustainable, dependable, organic fertilizer. Polysulphate™ fertilizer comes from the polyhalite layer of rock, over 1000m below the North Sea off the North Yorkshire coast in the UK. Deposited 260 million years ago,[...]

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 resources scarcity. ICL’s products and solutions are key to meeting our future nutritional requirements. It took 10,000 years for the world’s population to reach 1 billion by the year 1800, another 100 years to double to 2 billion and less than another century to triple to[...]
