The Fertilizer Institute - Representing Public Policy, Promoting Stewardship & Sustainability

The Fertilizer Institute or TFI is the trade association that is the voice of the fertilizer industry before the U.S. Congress and other federal regulatory agencies. The membership organization was founded in 1955 and is comprised of global producers, suppliers, and retailers in the fertilizer industry. Its duties consist of representing the public policy, stewardship and sustainability, market intelligence, and communication needs of its members. To further expand on its communication support, TFI serves as the fertilizer industry’s resource to the media on key issues including economic factors affecting the industry, environmental impact of fertilizers, and federal policy issues. TFI’s overall mission is to represent, promote and protect the fertilizer industry through the following strategic initiatives:

• To foster a prosperous fertilizer industry through legislative and regulatory activities at the federal, state and local level

• To effectively address issues impacting TFI member companies

• To share knowledge about the fertilizer industry with members, government and the agriculture industry on issues related to fertilizer and the farm economy
  

One key initiative from the TFI that we, at Allied Nutrients, have been supporting for over a decade is the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program. The concept involves best management practices (BMPs) that optimize fertilizer efficiency. Our goal in reverberating this message is to help turf and ornamental managers match available nutrients with plant needs, minimize nutrient losses to the environment, and maximize the quality of the turfgrass and ornamental plants.
