Safer Phosphates Foundation is an independent Dutch foundation dedicated to advancing sustainable agriculture, environmental protection, and food safety globally. While our work began with a focus on raising awareness about heavy metals in fertilizing products, our mission has evolved to address the interconnected challenges of soil health, water and air quality, and long-term food security.
Our goal is to support a holistic transition to sustainable and resilient farming systems that safeguard human health, protect ecosystems, and ensure productive soils for future generations.
Our work is guided by our foundational articles of association, which direct us to:
a. Tackle the complex issues linking soil health, food safety, human health, and sustainable agriculture, with a focus on promoting safer phosphates and reducing environmental contaminants.
b. Disseminate research, data, and insights through digital platforms, including our website, social media, and multimedia channels.
c. Support scientific research into safer fertilizers, soil ecosystems, contaminant pathways, and sustainable food production.
d. Organize meetings, seminars, and webinars that bring together actors from the phosphate value chain, policymakers, NGOs, academics, and farmers to collaborate on sustainable solutions.
e. Work with legislative and environmental agencies worldwide to understand and advance practices that make agriculture more sustainable through improved fertilizer quality.
f. Manage the Safer Phosphates Foundation trademark to ensure all associated activities align with our foundational objectives.
g. Organize any other activity that can directly or indirectly contribute to the promotion of safer phosphates around the world.
