More efficient agriculture


Photo: A broad field
The modern agricultural industry is being confronted with ever greater challenges. The industry is expected to supply high-quality produce while remaining sustainable and cost-efficient. At the same time the world population is growing, increasing the demand for food and renewable resources. Plants that can be used to produce energy are more valuable than ever before. But the amount of available crop land is getting smaller. According to forecasts, agricultural production will have to double in the next 20 years. To meet this challenge the agricultural industry needs innovative solutions.

Plant biotechnology can deliver these kinds of solutions.
