Feeding over 9 billion people requires resilient farmers and collaboration between private enterprises and farmers to achieve agricultural self-sufficiency,” said Ben Pratt, President of the Foundation.
Mosaic Company Foundation’s Measurable Impact in India, Brazil, and the U.S.
The Foundation has contributed nearly $50 million to date, with a focus on improving farming techniques, empowering rural communities, and fostering environmental stewardship:
- India: The Krishi Jyoti program has reached over 760,000 individuals, with reported yield increases of up to 35%.
- Brazil: The Villages Project has supported family farms—half of which are led by women—with yield improvements as high as 175%.
- United States: A strong proponent of 4R Nutrient Stewardship, the Foundation supports research and education to promote nutrient-use efficiency across ten million acres.
Strengthening Global and Local Partnerships
The Foundation continues to work alongside various partners to scale its efforts:
- In India, the S M Sehgal Foundation leads on-the-ground efforts for the Krishi Jyoti program.
- In Brazil, Instituto Mosaic supports The Villages Project, implemented by Mandū.
- In the U.S., collaborations with Ducks Unlimited and The Nature Conservancy continue to bolster soil health and agricultural resilience.
Anjali Makhija, CEO of the S M Sehgal Foundation, said the partnership “continues to create lasting impact, ensuring a brighter future for farming communities and their families across India.”
Adam H. Putman, CEO of Ducks Unlimited, noted, “By investing in sustainable practices, we help secure the future of global food production.”
Preparing the Next Generation of Sustainable Farmers
Looking forward, the Foundation plans to expand its programs by 15% in India and Brazil and continue emphasizing 4R Nutrient Stewardship in the U.S. It is also exploring initiatives aimed at equipping young farmers with the tools and knowledge required to champion sustainable agriculture practices in their communities.
