In just 10 years, this cross-sector collaboration has increased farmer yield and water storage capacity, while expanding from two village communities to reach 60 villages, 46,000 people and 17,000 acres of land.

Mosaic Villages Project in India
In 2008, the Sehgal Foundation, The Mosaic Company, and The Mosaic Company Foundation recognized an opportunity to collaborate with village communities in India through the Krishi Jyoti Project. Krishi Jyoti, which translates as “enlightened agriculture,” focuses on three priorities: agricultural improvement, water management and education.
Nuh and Alwar participating farmers have increased yields by 20 to 30 percent in all three major crops—mustard, wheat and pearl millet.
Six new check dams used to capture and store rainwater and recharge groundwater funded by the project now provide a total reservoir capacity of 30 million gallons.
Nutrient Stewardship
The Mosaic Company and our agronomy team are committed to educating farmers, retailers and other stakeholders about nutrient stewardship to achieve timely, ongoing and long-term sustainable plant nutrition while protecting natural resources.
We want farmers to achieve maximum plant nutrition and yield benefits from their Fertilizer investments. That includes reducing nutrient loss to the environment, which can contribute to impaired water quality, such as algal blooms. That is why we actively partner with organizations to support and promote science-based best practices, especially the 4R Nutrient Stewardship framework.
Since 2013, The Mosaic Company and The Mosaic Company Foundation have supported been supporting partnering with The Nature Conservancy’s efforts to promote 4R Nutrient Stewardship throughout North America, including in Florida and across the five million-acre Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB). We bring together both farmers and retailers to implement apply best practices that help reduce nutrient loss from farmland and improve water quality in Florida and within the WLEB in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.
We partner with Ducks Unlimited, USA Rice, and others on the Rice Stewardship Partnership in the Mississippi Alluvial Region. The partnership teaches 4R Nutrient Stewardship practices to farmers to help them conserve wildlife habitat, including water fowl, while staying productive and profitable. By 2020, the Partnership is expected to enroll over 400,000 rice acres–12.5 percent of all acres of rice grown in the United States.
Since 2004, The Mosaic Company and The Mosaic Company Foundation have invested more than $19 million in water-focused actions that promote nutrient stewardship, habitat conservation and watershed restoration.
