Nutrients for Life Foundation

The value of fertilizer in our world may be common knowledge to those in the world of agronomy and agriculture, but it’s safe to say that most people certainly aren’t experts when it comes to plant nutrition. The Nutrients for Life Foundation’s goal is to provide science-based information on the valuable role fertilizers play in feeding our growing world by developing and introducing curriculum into our nation’s schools. The non-profit education foundation was established in 2004 to increase an understanding of how responsible use of fertilizer improves the health of our soil, the plants that grow in it, and ultimately, the foods we eat. In addition to the United States, Nutrients for Life operates international chapters in Canada, Colombia and Mexico.
