“I am honored and excited to develop GPI into the global convener of all things phosphorus,” said Roy. "This platform will be available to anyone from the local dairy farmer to the climate scientist to the chemistry student to the food manufacturer interested industries because we must ensure that phosphorus, a non-substitutable vital element, is responsibly managed and available for future generations,” said Roy.
