FAST FOOD FARM, LUTCHER, LOUISIANA
The Fast Food Farm is located on three acres of land surrounded by sugarcane fields in Lutcher, Louisiana. High school students lead elementary school students in hands-on activities that teach the importance of farming and food production. They learn firsthand how crops are grown, harvested and used in food production. Mosaic sponsors The Fast Food Farm with an annual cash grant. In addition, Mosaic employees from the nearby Uncle Sam and Faustina plants volunteer at The Farm.
CURRICULUM FOR AGRICULTURAL AND SCIENCE EDUCATION (CASE), FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA (FFA)
Mosaic is a co-sponsor of CASE, a progressive approach to teaching agricultural science. This program is a critical need for FFA and agriculture education because it will increase the rigor and relevance of the current curriculum and elevate it to prepare students for careers in modern agriculture.
SECOND HARVEST HEARTLAND, MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA
With the help of The Mosaic Company, Second Harvest Heartland, Minnesota's largest emergency food network, received $340,000 in donations from over 2,000 donors during Give to the Max Day 2010 on GiveMN.org — Minnesota's online giving portal. Mosaic matched $100,000 in gifts to Second Harvest Heartland, while also covering all associated transaction fees. As a result, Second Harvest Heartland also received the "most successful nonprofit" bonus of $10,000. This creative way to encourage community contributions to hunger supported Second Harvest Heartland in their work to reinvent hunger relief through leadership and innovation.
GLOBAL LANDSCAPES INITIATIVE, INSTITUTE ON THE ENVIRONMENT, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
In 2010, Mosaic became a founding member of the Global Landscapes Initiative at the University of Minnesota. The initiative is a collaboration among top universities, major agricultural companies and key stakeholders in the agricultural world, all focused on long-term food security. It examines how the dynamics surrounding important agricultural commodities are changing globally and explores ways to balance the need for increased food production with the environmental costs of agriculture.
The initiative has many tools, including CROPMAPPER, the single largest collection of information on agricultural crops, land-use practices and associated environmental impacts in the world. The system includes detailed information on topics such as harvested areas, global crop yields, fertilizer application rates and irrigation practices. This data represents every nine square kilometers across the world from the 1960s to present day.
