Our purpose

Our founders faced and overcame the greatest food challenge of their time. With collaboration and curiosity, they helped save the lives of millions. Since then, we have continuously developed solutions that improve and increase global food production more sustainably.

But the disruptions of recent years have shown how fragile the food system is and how it threatens food security. We have more mouths to feed and limited resources to draw upon.

At Yara, we are working tirelessly to meet these challenges head-on. Through integrated, science-based solutions, we’re helping to lead a food system transformation to protect nature better, increase affordable food access, transition to clean energy, and improve livelihoods. Collaborative leadership will grow our potential to do good and secure a resilient food system while protecting and restoring our planet.
