Syngenta Commits to Accelerating Innovation

Syngenta recently announced its commitment to accelerate its innovation to address the increasing challenges growers face globally and the changing views of society. The announcement follows the completion of more than 150 listening sessions with various stakeholders throughout the world.

“Farmers today need to manage climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss, as well as the changing consumer expectations and views on agricultural technology,” says Alexandra Brand, chief sustainability officer at Syngenta. “There is a clear call for innovation and more action to address these challenges in ways where everybody wins—from growers to consumers and the environment.”

To help fulfill this commitment, Syngenta is working with organizations that share its goals and vision for a more sustainable future. In a new multiyear collaboration—Innovation for Nature—Syngenta is working with The Nature Conservancy on practices aimed at improving soil health, resource efficiency and habitat protection in major agricultural regions worldwide. The goal in the U.S. is to help growers—who are already among the world’s most productive, best stewards of the environment—understand more about what everyone can do.
