Fertiliser producer Yara has announced a new partnership with potato supplier and grower in the UK, Branston, which will be trialed at the Branston farm in Lincolnshire.
As part of the initiative, Yara will provide Branston with lower carbon fertilisers as well as crop nutrition support to reduce carbon footprint and improve yield. As part of the joint initiative, Yara will supply Branston, the potato grower for Tesco Finest white potatoes, with a Lower Carbon Crop Nutrition Program to reduce the carbon footprint of the end product.
Already a buyer of Yara’s liquid and solid fertiliser products, Branston’s aim to achieve long-term sustainability led to discussions with the fertiliser producer about how it could help the company lower its carbon footprint using lower-carbon fertilisers.
YaraMila, YaraBela and YaraLiva have been lower carbon since 2006 when Yara introduced abatement technology to reduce nitrous oxide emissions. However, this is only part of the picture. Alongside supplying fertiliser products, Yara will provide Branston with potato crop nutrition support focusing on whole plant health to improve yield.
