Hydro helps feed the world
(July 10, 2002) The world is preoccupied with two things when it comes to food. In developing regions, the issue is enough food. In developed regions, the issue is quality and sometimes, the right kinds of food.
Either way, mineral fertilizer is a prime ingredient. Norsk Hydro, as the world’s No. 1 producer of mineral fertilizer, contributes to both the quantity and quality of food around the globe.
Without mineral fertilizer, the world’s arable land could not support current yields. Less food would be produced for an ever-growing population.
Likewise, the right application of the right fertilizer at the right time ensures that those who work the land – whether a corn farmer in Canada, a grape grower in Germany or a subsistence farmer in South Africa – get the most out of their efforts.
