Growth begins with education

The goal of our Foundation is to provide science-based information that helps educate people about the benefits of fertilizer.

Through the development of educational resources and a countrywide outreach campaign, our Foundation informs the public of the role of nutrients in both the production of nutritious, abundant food and the preservation of healthy green spaces. Plant nutrients, especially nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, are also required to keep our parks, gardens, playgrounds, sports fields and golf courses green and healthy in communities from coast to coast.

All information developed by our Foundation is based in science and supported by agronomists, including those at the International Plant Nutrition Institute. Our educational materials are based on a curriculum which has been reviewed by the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum complex and research organization.
