A new program to help farmers adopt climate-friendly practices can boost their income while reducing the carbon footprint of food supply chains.
Yara global economist Yben Zhao tells Brownfield the program helps farmers find ways to improve the environment like through practices like nitrogen atomization. “We look into the farmer’s nitrogen, the whole program to see where they can optimize the nitrogen use efficiency. Either they can reduce the nitrogen rate or maintain the same rate for more yield or increase the rate for even more yield,” Zhao says.
