NOVEMBER 20248 ENVIRONMENTAL BUSINESS REVIEWAgriculture is on the cusp of a new frontier in sustainability ­ one that will see farmers improve crop production, increase performance predictability, and protect the planet for future generations.Before I explain this bold prediction in detail, let me start with the simple answer: it's about the soil. As farmers have always known, we're not making more soil any time soon, so taking care of what we have is at the heart of sustainable agriculture.When we invest in soil health ­ and healthy soil practices ­ we can address the fundamental dilemma of meeting the growing global demand for food, fiber and fuel while minimizing the environmental impact of crop production.Over the past several decades, our industry has made incredible advances toward that goal through the development of better seed technologies, improved crop nutrition, and advanced equipment that can drive efficiency through data analytics. Yet, for all the progress we've made, we continue to face an escalating challenge created by variables we cannot control: a THE NEW FRONTIER OF SUSTAINABILITYBy Paul Bonnett, Senior Director of Agronomy & Environmental Sciences (AES), Nutrien Ag SolutionsOPINIONIN MY
