Syngenta has developed The Good Growth Plan to bolster its commitment to sustainability and address the critical challenges the world faces in feeding a growing population. The plan outlines six core commitments that focus on the principles of more food, less waste; more biodiversity, less degradation; and more health, less poverty. They are as follows:

  • Make crops more efficient by growing more with fewer resources
  • Rescue farmland
  • Help biodiversity flourish
  • Empower smallholders
  • Train farm workers on safety
  • Strive for fair farm labor conditions

"The Good Growth Plan builds on what, we, as a company and an industry, are already doing to fulfill these commitments," says Jill Wheeler, head of sustainable productivity at Syngenta. "To make an even deeper, more meaningful impact, Syngenta understands that we cannot act alone. We must forge lasting partnerships with stakeholders from across the world who share our mission to create a better tomorrow through agriculture."
