IFDC is the world’s only nonprofit, science-based organization with the mandate to address the integrated soil nutrient management needs associated with moving toward a sustainable global food system.

Because it is composed of an international, multidisciplinary, multilingual staff, IFDC can provide an unbiased opinion regarding most facets of fertilizer sector development. The IFDC staff, recruited from more than 20 countries, is both internationally and technically diverse with almost one-half of the total being chemical engineers, chemists, economists, agronomists, geologists, soil scientists, marketing specialists, and sociologists. IFDC is able to conduct unique research and development programs and projects because of three complementary factors: (1) the multidisciplinary structure of its task teams used for project planning and implementation; (2) the ability to produce and test experimental fertilizers in laboratories, pilot plants, greenhouses, and experiment stations and fields in the developing countries; and (3) linkages with research and development institutions around the world. IFDC’s professionals have participated in a wide range of projects in collaboration with national and international food and agricultural organizations; financial institutions; agricultural research stations; manufacturers and associations; and research and development agencies.
