The Good Growth Plan Emphasizes Innovation to Address Pressing Food System Challenges
Under the next phase of The Good Growth Plan, Syngenta is accelerating innovation while continuing to keep farmers productive, profitable and sustainable.
In the first phase of The Good Growth Plan, Syngenta helped bring more than 34 million acres of farmland back from the brink of degradation and enhanced biodiversity on almost 20 million acres of farmland. Launched in 2013, the plan achieved its chief goals — improving farmer productivity and supporting sustainability for agriculture overall — earlier this year.
“We would never have reached our achievements by 2020 without the support and participation of our partners,” says Chris Davison, head of business sustainability for Syngenta, North America. “By continuing to work with stakeholders from around the world, we will create an even better tomorrow through agriculture.”
Under the next phase of The Good Growth Plan, set to run through 2025, Syngenta is accelerating innovation on products and processes that support climate resiliency while continuing to keep farmers productive, profitable and sustainable. The company’s target is to invest $2 billion in sustainable agriculture breakthroughs by 2025 and deliver two sustainable technology breakthroughs each year.
As part of the new Good Growth Plan, Syngenta remains committed to enhancing biodiversity and soil health on 3 million hectares, or 7.4 acres, of rural land every year. Additionally, Syngenta aims to train 8 million farm workers on the safe use of its products every year and strives for fair labor across the entire supply chain. The company will report annually on progress against these and other targets.
