Washington, D.C.-The Fertilizer Institute on June 17 released its new policy briefing paper, Fertilizer’s Role in World Food Production, which has been developed as a tool for use in ongoing policy discussions regarding the food price crisis and long-term solutions. The color brochure emphasizes diversifying diets and increased global food demand as the driving factors behind the food crisis, stating that if we are to keep up with food demand, the world will need record global crop production every year. “Fertilizer is a precious resource, which is an integral part of any nation’s food security strategy,” said TFI President Ford B. West. “As people around the world demand more nutritious diets, the public and policymakers cannot overlook the fertilizer industry’s important contributions to world food production.” TFI is making this briefing paper available to its members for use at state and regional meetings with legislatures, local councils, and others. Members can order complimentary co-branded brochures for use in their own lobbying and education efforts. The policy briefing paper is available at www.tfi.org.
