Our Focus

Safety & Security

Ensuring public safety of fertilizer products through compliance and enforcement of standardized product handling procedures.

Efficiency. Safety. Security.

Fertilizer Canada promotes the safe and secure manufacturing, handling, storage, transportation and application of commercial fertilizers thereby protecting employees, transportation workers, first responders, farmers and the general public from risk due to accidental release, environmental emergency, or criminal misuse of fertilizer products.

Innovative Research. Collaborative Planning.

Fertilizer is food for plants and imperative for growing healthy food for Canadians. Without fertilizer, global food production would be approximately half of current levels. To feed the projected global population in 2050, we will need to increase food production by approximately 70 percent. The world relies on the safe and responsible distribution and use of fertilizer products to meet this demand.

Fertilizer Canada promotes the safe and secure manufacturing, handling, storage, transportation, and application of commercial fertilizers. The Canadian fertilizer industry is widely viewed as a world leader in fertilizer safety, with industry-leading, world-class Codes of Practice. Our practices are continuously reviewed to ensure we remain responsible in our procedures and practices.
