Date:04-21-2022

Nutrien Ltd., (TSX and NYSE: NTR) the world’s largest provider of crop inputs, services and solutions, has announced it is joining the Decade of Ag movement, a sector-wide effort, facilitated by US Farmers and Ranchers in Action, to create a shared vision for a resilient, climate-smart agricultural system that produces sustainable food, fiber and energy systems for the future.

By the year 2030, Nutrien aims to make key transformations through ambitious commitments that drive systemic change and lead the next wave of agricultural evolution, including:

• Enabling sustainable acres

• Reducing emissions

• Leveraging innovation and inclusion

• Scaling a carbon program

• Investing in low-carbon fertilizer

Nutrien joins Decade of Ag and USFRA as it works to elevate food and agriculture as the primary solution for sustainability – positioning farmers and ranchers as key change agents in this important work to shape our future.

“The future needs food. And the only way we’re going to feed everyone is to be a leader in the agriculture industry in innovation and bold thinking. From the bottom of the mine to the top of the silo, Nutrien is committed to growing a better world,” said David Elser, Senior Vice President, Retail North America at Nutrien Ag Solutions. “This effort will take all of us - corporations, NGOs, scientists and industry. We don’t have time to waste. Feeding the future has never felt more promising.”

U.S. Farmers and Ranchers in Action (USFRA) connects farmers and ranchers to food and agriculture stakeholders to co-create sustainable food systems. USFRA spotlights the important role farmers and ranchers are taking in forging climate solutions with help from science, experts, investors and partners.

“These leaders are stepping up in action to collaborate for meaningful impact,” said USFRA CEO Erin Fitzgerald. “Nutrien knows bold action is needed now to restore our environment through agriculture to regenerate natural resources. This important step forward not only shows Nutrien’s commitment to a better tomorrow but that we’re grounded in a shared vision of what a decade of success looks like and we’re able to go further and faster together.”

Nutrien joins more than 200 agriculture leaders who have signed on to this sustainability vision.
