occur in the Southern Hemisphere today

With access to training, tools and technology, farmers can
improve their agricultural productivity – and enhance food supply

help to protect it every step along the way
Goal: Healthy, high yielding
and high-quality plants

6. With innovative science we can protect
rice harvests and improve livelihoods in Asia
Bacterial Leaf Blight
destroys up to 80% of
the rice crop
Our hybrid rice variety protects
the plant with native resistance

7. We connect partners across the food chain
for sustainable broccoli growing in Mexico
Farmers often lack access to
know-how, tools and technologies
With our Food Chain
Partnerships, we promote
sustainable farming practices
across the food chain – for
healthy & high-quality food

8. To sustainably address the major
challenges, we need A New Revolution in
Agriculture
A holistic approach where stakeholders in agriculture unite to achieve a more sustainable
way of growing crops, at the quantities we need, to help advance world food security.
Leading innovation
…helping address the key
challenges of modern agriculture
through new solutions
Enhancing human health
…improving the nutritional
value of certain crops and
contributing to a healthy
food supply
Enabling farmers big and small
…providing them with tools,
technology and training to thrive
economically in the long-term
Driving a sustainable
intensification of agriculture
…helping to raise both productivity
and environmental compatibility
