Worldwide yield improvements on irrigated acreage with nitrogen-use efficient crops5

Technology Profile:• Nitrogen-use efficient (NUE)

crops, developed through biotechnology, absorb applied fertilizers more efficiently, leading to better growth and increased production.

• Rice, maize and canola varieties with the NUE trait are expected to reach the market in the next 7-10 years. Research trials show that NUE crops yield as much as 15% more per acre than crops without the trait.2

• NUE crops could double maize yields in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2050.3

• A recent study estimated that NUE crops could reduce the amount of people at risk of hunger by 124 million in 2050.4

Impact of Nitrogen on Global Agriculture:Nitrogen fertilizers have been essential to boosting crop productivity in recent decades. They help farmers grow heartier and healthier crops that can feed a growing population. However, most plants can only absorb part of the nitrogen in fertilizer, which leaves essential nutrients unused. New seed traits that allow crops to use nitrogen more efficiently and effectively can provide an immense boost to productivity and help farmers grow significantly more food, especially as climate change threatens production.

NITROGEN-USE EFFICIENCY

Global Benefits:By 2050, agriculture will need to produce enough food to feed 9 billion people while battling increasingly difficult growing environments due to climate change. Nitrogen-use efficient crops will enable farmers to improve productivity, even in the face of these challenges, and deliver yield benefits around the world:

Fertilizers contain essential nitrogen

nutrients for plants. However, most crops can only absorb about half the nitrogen contained in the fertilizer, while the rest is lost to the atmosphere.1

Section TitleImagery - text and image slide

tagline

the tagline ‘Helping Farmers Grow’, which defines Croplife international’s purpose, should, wherever possible, be added to communications as a sign-off. the tagline should be set in the same text style and size as the application on which it appears (primary: Gotham Book or secondary: Arial for digital applications). if increased standout is required, its type size can be increased by no more than 2pts larger than the surrounding text.

the preferred color is Croplife international light green (matching Pantone 369), but if color is not suitable for reproduction, it can also be set in white, 50% black or solid black.

Positioningandclearspacethe tagline should be placed in the bottom right corner of applications, whether that be a brochure cover (back or front), business card or PowerPoint slide. it should never be placed ‘locked up’ with the logo.

the baseline of the tagline should, wherever possible, align with any text that appears on the application, or if positioned in isolation, there should be a clearance of no less than the height of the capital ‘H’ in the tagline (preferably more to give the tagline clear legible space).

examples are shown opposite as well as on applications throughout these guidelines.

Clearance area Position

the required minimum clear space is defined by the height of the ‘H’ in the tagline. Do not place any graphic elements or text within this clear space area.
