照顾照顾我们的土地.

可持续实践,从头开始

At Simplot, being good stewards of the land is more than the core of our business – it’s simply the right thing to do. Sustainable land use and conservation of natural resources are critical to meeting the global food needs for today's growing population and for future generations.

Our story begins with soil health and nutrient stewardship: caring for the lands that feed us. 作为一家以马铃薯生产为基础的公司, 我们不断努力寻找种植更好食物的新方法. 无论我们把土地用于农业还是采矿, 我们在工作中加强填海和自然保育的措施.

土壤健康和养分管理

We commit to investing in soil health research and nutrient stewardship to help growers use fertilizer and water resources more efficiently.

通过4Rs营养管理推进最佳实践

Simplot支持并参与 4R Nutrient Stewardship program. This program promotes best practices for minimizing nutrient loss in soil and aims to improve efficiencies while enhancing environmental protection and sustainability efforts. 这是一种鼓励使用正确肥料来源的方法, at the right rate, at the right time, and in the right place.

4r框架帮助我们在尊重资源的同时最大化生产. For example, the Simplot Grandview Farm in Washington’s Columbia River Basin has shown that current nutrient applications are at least 15% more efficient than 10 years ago, with improved yield and quality. 我们很自豪能被认可为 4R Advocate

建立土壤健康研究伙伴关系

通过与其他行业领导者的合作,Simplot帮助建立了一个 Distinguished Endowed Chair 华盛顿州立大学马铃薯种植系统的土壤健康研究. 该职位将指导健康研究, 为马铃薯产业提供更肥沃的土壤, addressing the need for more understanding of how microorganisms and physical properties of the soil affect potato health, quality and yields.

Simplot is also involved with the Potato Soil Health Project through a Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) grant with the University of Minnesota. The overall objectives of the project are to determine how best to measure soil health in potato cropping systems, identify the tools (cover crops, soil amendments, 轮作方案)最能提高土壤健康和块茎产量, 并将研究结果告知马铃薯种植者.

Potato Sustainability

我们不断努力通过农艺提高马铃薯的十大赌博靠谱信誉平台, soil health, 以及各种研究和最佳实践的实施.

培育适合环境的马铃薯新品种

我们投资于马铃薯的研究和开发,以尽量减少病害, improve yields, reduce pesticides, 提高安全性,提高环境十大赌博靠谱信誉平台. 我们这样做的一个方法是通过我们的各种研究和开发,包括 Innate® technology. Innate potatoes provide significant sustainability advantages for the potato industry through enhanced traits such as reduced blackspot bruise, 这意味着更少的土豆被包装商拒绝, 加工者和消费者导致更少的浪费. 减少黑斑瘀伤缺陷, 可以使用更少的资源来获得相同的产量, which means farmers generate fewer CO2 emissions while using less water and pesticides. 我们传统的品种研发也追求最好的口感, 最高效和弹性马铃薯我们的客户所期望的.

马铃薯可持续发展联盟(PSA)合作伙伴

Simplot是 PSA, which takes a full value-chain approach to sustainability in partnership with over 600 growers, 同时促进行业内的合作和创新. PSA实施农场可持续发展框架, which addresses sustainability issues that can be resolved by growers independently on the farm. PSA also develops a Sustainability Assessment tool that measures greenhouse gas emissions, irrigation efficiency, water quality, soil health, 病虫害综合治理与农民繁荣.

According to the PSA, “当你吃一个可持续发展的土豆, you are supporting a farmer and an entire community that embraces their commitment to care for the environment.”

Land Reclamation

As a vertically integrated company, Simplot在食品生产的各个方面都有作用, from the mine that gives us phosphate ore used to produce fertilizer for our crops to the food on your dinner plate. 我们将继续投资于这项研究, 土地恢复和填海的技术和最佳做法.

Integrate Concurrent  Reclamation

土地复垦与采矿过程同时进行:作为一个区域被积极开采, 以前开采的区域被回收. 在必要的缓解措施下开垦地雷, salvaged topsoil and native plants aligns with our Simplot Core Value of Respect for Resources. We are determined to return our public lands to functioning habitat as soon as possible for local wildlife and future recreational opportunities. 我们为行业的年度可持续发展报告提供信息: 挖掘基本要素:养活世界的基本营养素.

监测和管理在斯莫基峡谷的填海成功

At our Smoky Canyon mine, Simplot follows strict, site-specific approval requirements set by U.S. 联邦政府机构,如土地管理局和美国农业部.S. Forest Service. 这些机构要求Simplot在我们前进的过程中开垦矿区, 放置保护性土壤覆盖物和种植植被. We also mitigate land disturbance by enhancing habitat areas in and around the mine site. 超出了这些基本的监管要求, Simplot conducts additional work to make sure that the soil and vegetation cover systems work to reclaim the land as planned, implementing detailed environmental surveys and a robust monitoring program during and after mining. This process helps address and reduce potential risks to important resources such as wildlife, fisheries, habitat, and ground and surface water.

恢复鲑鱼河的洋基叉——为了鱼,也为了历史

2017年,J.R. Simplot公司和其他组织收到了美国.S. 林务局的最高荣誉——酋长荣誉奖. The award recognizes a five-year collaborative effort to restore the waterways and fish habitats on the Yankee Fork of the Salmon River in eastern Idaho. We’ve also worked to address impacts from historic mining practices and were recognized by the U.S. Forest Service.

Conservation Agriculture

Our goal: Embrace innovations for improved, more sustainable beef and crop production.

Partner in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef

Simplot很自豪能成为美国的一员.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.

推广覆盖作物,提供传粉媒介

Simplot has several products that keep soil healthy and encourage the presence of pollinators. Simplot supplies seed for nutrient-restoring cover crops to help growers use less fertilizer while decreasing erosion and soil loss. Simplot’s pollinator blends have been used at wineries in southern California to pollinate local plants while encouraging customers and visitors to stay and enjoy the wildlife.

Simplot是保护技术信息中心(CTIC)的成员。. The CTIC works with a tool called OpTIS (Operational Tillage Information System) that uses satellite imagery to survey conservation tillage and cover crop utilization. 这些信息使我们能够了解覆盖作物在田间的使用情况.
