Partnering Interests
Digital Farming & Data Science

Farmers have always collected and evaluated large amounts of data with each growing season: seed varieties planted, inputs applied, bushels harvested, etc. Today, the rise of data science and the advent of digital technologies provide farmers with a wealth of new data – and new opportunities to use that data to improve operations and outcomes.

Biotechnology

Farmers need innovation not only to grow enough, but to grow better for our planet and its people. We have leading research & development capabilities in biotechnology to deliver tailored solutions to farmers faster than ever before.

Crop Protection

Growers rely on a host of tools to fight threats that account for up to 40% of the world's annual crop loss. Without the use of reliable crop protection solutions, those losses could be much higher. We proudly supply a broad range of tailored crop protection solutions to farmers worldwide to help them manage their fields and maximize yields across seasons, crops, geographies and circumstances.

Plant Breeding
absorbant hygiene products

Innovations in plant breeding help enable more choice for consumers while addressing the challenges farmers face in the field every day. That’s why we invest more in plant breeding research and development annually than we do any other agricultural research and development platform.
