Overview

The SDG Academy is pleased to partner with the International Fertilizer Association to promote their Sustainable Fertilizer Academy (SFA)!

Sustainability delivers the most value when it is in the mainstream of a business. That is why the Sustainable Fertilizer Academy program is designed to meet the needs of employees across a company.

Each class is between 20-30 minutes long to cover a maximum number of topics most efficiently. They have been video recorded to allow students around the world to take them in their own time zone, without travelling, and at their own pace. All classes have English and Spanish subtitles.

IFA's Sustainable Fertilizer Academy has achieved significant acclaim, becoming a finalist for three educational awards in just a year and a half since its launch.

Recognized in the categories of Best Education or Professional Development at the 2022 International & European Association awards, Best E-learning and Online Education at the 2022 Association of Association Executives awards, and a finalist for the Positive Impact Award at the 2023 Talent LMS awards, the academy stands as a leader in sustainable education.
