Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Food
Mission: Croplife foundation (the foundation) was created to promote and advance sustainable agriculture and the environmentally sound use of crop protection products and bioengineered agriculture. Our hope is that through sound science-based discovery, we will help global agriculture economically produce safe, high quality, abundant food, fiber, and other crops, thus ensuring food security and alleviating poverty, suffering, and hardship.
Programs: Cpri: the crop protection benefits research institute (cpbri) is a research unit of the croplife foundation. Cpbri was established in january, 2004 as a research program focused on the economic analysis of agricultural pests, pest management, and pesticide use and regulation in the united states. It has documented the benefits of crop protection technologies, in material consumer terms as well as the promotion of social and environmental ideals, and is focusing more on the communication of these benefits to consumers and their political representatives. Reducing food loss: the foundation is dedicated to education regarding the importance of crop protection products as a tool for reducing food loss and resource waste. We are promulgating the important message that crop protection products are critical to the cultivation of stronger and more plentiful produce with an increased shelf-life, as well as better soil health and stronger root systems that resist drought. Prairie strips: this project focuses on the design and management of prairie strips (i. E. Growing native grasses on sub-optimal farmland) to reduce water run-off and soil erosion, while doubling the birds and insect diversity on farms.
