Soils are the foundation of agriculture and our food system. In fact, 95% of our food relies on healthy soils. 🌱 However, soil degradation threatens the foundation of life on Earth. This is why we're shining a light on the importance of soil health this #WorldSoilDay and showcasing how Yara Vietnam is tackling this issue!   🌾 Vietnam’s economy is significantly influenced by soil health. With farming covering 84% of its natural land use, soil health is facing immense pressure from unsustainable practices. 🤝 Committed to improving soil health through innovative solutions, Yara is working with Vietnamese farmers to ensure the future of agriculture by focusing on crop quality and productivity.   👨🌾 We’re proud to be empowering farmers in Vietnam, supporting them by regenerating soil health, improving crop resilience, and contributing to a circular economy through solutions like YaraSuna organic fertilizers. Together, we’re building a more sustainable future for Vietnamese agriculture!   Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZM4A9qi   #KnowledgeGrows

🔴 Live from the #POLITICOSustainableWeek! "Many of the tools and solutions we need to #decarbonize the European agriculture and industry already exist. Now we need to go to the extra mile. Scaling up game changers like lower carbon footprint fertilizers and precision farming must be our shared priority," explains Anke Kwast, VP of Regenerative Agriculture for Climate Frameworks at Yara International. These are the key pillars to build a more sustainable, resilient and competitive #foodsystem in Europe: 1️⃣ Decarbonizing agriculture must be a top priority for the new European Commission. The green transition needs a dual focus – cutting emissions while enhancing competitiveness and safeguarding all pillars of sustainability.  2️⃣ “Enough stick, more carrots”: legislation has laid the groundwork. Now European and national policymakers should focus on incentives and financial support to drive progress.  3️⃣ R&D must continue and innovation needs strong support. In the fertilizers sector, we already have the technologies to achieve #climateneutrality by 2050. However, private initiatives can’t do it alone. We need public support to amplify their impact.  4️⃣ The transformation of the agri-food value chain will only succeed through partnerships, with efforts and costs shared among all players. 

Inclusion Grows Employee Spotlight: Meet Frida Wathome! 🌱🌳 In honour of International Day of Persons with Disabilities today, meet Frida Wathome, a Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Manager based in Kenya! 🌟 Frida, a proud ‘autism mum’ to her 15-year-old son, is a passionate advocate for inclusion, particularly for neurodivergent individuals like her son. 💙 Through her journey, she has experienced a lack of inclusion through the discrimination her son faces due to his autism. She shares, “This experience changed my outlook on life and spurred me towards greater empathy. Now, I acknowledge everyone’s unique experiences and avoid making assumptions based on stereotypes.” Instead of being discouraged, Frida has risen above it with empathy, learning to respect differences and challenge stereotypes. 💪 Despite the challenges, Frida finds strength through the support of her family, colleagues, and her son’s school. She takes pride in being a spokesperson for her son and others like him, sharing educational resources and pushing for accommodations that enable autistic individuals to live a full and meaningful life. At Yara Africa & Asia, Frida grows inclusion by raising awareness about neurodivergence, sharing her lived experiences, listening to those who feel marginalized, and creating safe spaces for open discussions on inclusion. 🤝💬 #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities #InclusionGrows #DEI #YouAreAmazing

This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we're thrilled to spotlight how Yara European Business Services is promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities at every level of society. 🎥 Recently, Yara EBS hosted (In)Visible: Inclusion Day - an impactful event focused on advancing disability inclusion. 🎤 Together with Delfi Lietuva, the event was broadcasted online to over 100,000 viewers and shed light on the often-overlooked barriers faced by people with disabilities across education, employment, and social settings. The event also offered several practical insights to reshape perspectives and inspire meaningful action. 🤝 We're proud to see impactful initiatives like this driven by our Yara colleagues globally! By taking action, we're raising awareness, fostering understanding, and creating a society where inclusion is the norm and everyone is empowered to thrive.

Scaling up production of zero-emission fuels is critical for the #shipping industry to reach net zero, as Mette Asmussen, Lead for Maritime Sector Initiatives at the World Economic Forum, explains. These 3 companies are members of the First Suppliers Hub, a global repository of #innovative products needed to decarbonize the world by 2050. The Hub is part of the First Movers Coalition initiative, which is working to #decarbonize the world’s heavy-emitting sectors.

How can precision agriculture help farmers make the most of every field, sustainably? In collaboration with Yara International, we are working to bring farmers better insights for smarter crop nutrition. By connecting Yara’s agronomic knowledge and crop nutrition expertise with our technology, we’re making it easier for farmers to plan and apply nutrients where they’re needed most. Through Yara’s Atfarm platform, farmers can access tailored recommendations and nitrogen uptake maps specific to their fields. This data flows directly into the John Deere Operations Center™, helping farmers execute applications precisely & easily with their John Deere equipment. Our partnership focuses on providing practical tools that help farmers make informed choices, optimize resources, and support sustainable practices in agriculture! #JohnDeereEurope

Let's take a closer look at Yara Brunsbüttel! 👀   📍 Located 90 km from Hamburg, Yara Brunsbüttel lies on the west coast of the Schleswig-Holstein state on the North Sea and Kiel Canal - an ideal central location for industry.   🏭 The plant was established in 1976 and became part of the Yara family in 2004!   👷 Here, the plant proudly produces ammonia and urea. They also produce AdBlue® which converts harmful substances into environmentally harmless ones, therefore reducing air pollution.   🚢 Recently, Yara Brunsbüttel inaugurated its new ammonia import terminal, which will enable imports of up to three million tonnes of low-emission ammonia to Europe annually!   🎯 Thanks to Yara Brunsbüttel's ideal central location, the new terminal will play an important role in enabling the German hydrogen strategy and contribute to the country’s energy transition.   Learn more about Yara 👉 yara.com

Learn how the N-Sensor is shaping the future of farming! 👉https://lnkd.in/d7J8fzTF #KnowledgeGrows

It's a wrap from the European Hydrogen Week! 🎬   We had an exciting week connecting with industry leaders, exploring the latest #hydrogen developments, and contributing to high-level discussions on key topics like carbon pricing and decarbonization.   Here are our takeaways from this year’s edition:   💡 While the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (#CBAM) is a valuable tool to raise #CO2 prices for clean production and ensure a level playing field for imports to Europe, it does not address the challenge of maintaining EU industries' export competitiveness on a global scale.   💡 A successful transition in the #maritime sector requires strengthened cooperation between shipowners, technology providers, fuel suppliers, and port authorities to accelerate #decarbonization efforts.   💡 Certification and standardization are essential for building a reliable international #hydrogenmarket.   💡 While Europe’s hydrogen rollout is moving slower than forecasted, significant strides have been made, with large projects reaching final investment decisions.   At Yara, we are committed to advancing sustainable solutions for the future. Only together can we accelerate the decarbonization journey and make hydrogen a pivotal part of the global clean energy transition. 🎯
