## IFA Member

Since 2023, Proba has worked with IFA, industry experts, and academics to develop rigorous, science-based methodologies for quantifying fertilizer emissions. The collaboration brings together operational insight from producers and the latest research from academia, helping ensure our methodologies reflect both how fertilizers are actually made and what the science says about their impact.
