lobal food security is one of the most pressing
issues of our time — one that requires the

the food it needs, Mosaic helps improve crop
yields through the efficient use of crop nutrients.
Our continual focus on new product development ensures we
can meet the unique needs of growers in every par t of the
world. The Mosaic Villages Project is a living example of how
our products, agronomic exper tise and financial suppor t can
transform farmers’ lives in India, Guatemala and eight countries
in Africa, moving them from subsistence to surplus.
