International Plant Nutrition Institute
The International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) from 2007 to 2019 was a not-for-profit, science-based organization dedicated to the responsible management of plant nutrition for the benefit of the human family. Since July 2019, IPNI Canada has taken on a new role, providing scientific support to the nutrient stewardship initiatives of three industry associations: Fertilizer Canada, the Fertilizer Institute, and the International Fertilizer Association. It is also a partner in the African 4R Solution project. IPNI Canada also serves as a repository of the historical legacy of past information products developed by IPNI, including Better Crops and Issue Reviews. Other items are available at the TFI Store. IPNI Canada is governed by a board of directors and is managed administratively by Fertilizer Canada. Its Chief Scientist is Dr. Tom Bruulsema.

IPNI`s Mission
The mission of IPNI is to develop and promote scientific information about the responsible management of plant nutrition for the benefit of the human family.
IPNI is a global organization with initiatives addressing the world's growing need for food, fuel, fiber and feed. There is widespread concern for issues such as climate change and relationship of crop production to the environment and ecosystems, and IPNI programs are achieving positive results. Best management practices (BMPs) for nutrient stewardship encourage the concept of applying the right product (source), at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place.
