Stewardship for Nufarm is the careful and responsible management of chemical solutions.
Modern crop protection chemistry is critical to farming in Australia and around the world. These tools are important for food production, and their safe and sustainable use is a high priority for Australian farmers.
Nufarm is committed to assisting growers, and the industry, in the responsible use of Crop Protection products through developing innovative solutions, advocacy and education.
Nufarm has an end-to-end approach to stewardship – from developing innovative solutions, through to industry training and advocacy, to post-use container management programs.
Agricultural innovation is critical to protect crops and reduce food loss, and Nufarm is committed to the development of solutions that help farmers. Nufarm DROPZONE and Nufarm Terrad’or are examples of solutions that can help farmers achieve this.
Nufarm are founding members of the industry recycling and reuse program, drumMUSTER and has led the adoption of reusable packaging in Australia through the introduction of 110L containers for farmers. More recently, Nufarm has implemented a number of internal initiatives to safely and effectively improve our containers for growers including the introduction of an anti-glug 20L container and a wash and reuse program for some containers.
As a partner of key industry groups such as CropLife, GPA and the NFF, Nufarm invests significant time and effort in supporting key policy and advocacy initiatives, to ensure the continued use of key chemistries, that help Australian growers get more from their land.
We also lead the way with research & development of local solutions for local conditions, with more replicated trial work than any other company in Australia.
This means innovative solutions, with registrations and use patterns, that help Australian farmers get more from their land.
Our in-field stewardship activities focus on education and spray application, and are delivered as “Nufarm Spraywise”, together with Croplands.
With dozens of these events held around the country each season, Nufarm is a leader in helping growers, consultants and applicators use solutions responsibly. Developed over decades, and enriched by local expertise exclusive to Nufarm, our education is designed for Australian conditions and Australian growers.
If you would like a Nufarm Spraywise event on your farm, or for your local community, we invite you to submit your request and your local Nufarm representative will contact you.
