International Phosphorus Platform

The International Phosphorus Platform (IP4) is a global organization that promotes sustainable management of phosphorus, a vital nutrient for agriculture and the environment. Phosphorus is essential for crop growth but is a limited resource, mainly sourced from mining. IP4 encourages collaboration among industry, scientists, and policymakers to improve phosphorus use efficiency, reduce waste, and prevent environmental pollution, such as water eutrophication. Its goal is to ensure long-term availability of phosphorus while promoting environmentally responsible practices, supporting food security, and safeguarding ecosystems worldwide.
