At Crop Science, a division of Bayer, the sense of responsibility and commitment to making our world a better place are key to ensuring the company’s values are being upheld. They demonstrate this commitment everyday by supporting modern agriculture, food production, and the innovation needed to feed a hungry world.
The world is changing rapidly and those changes are not only reshaping agriculture, they are also shifting consumer expectations about their food, where it comes from, how it’s grown or raised and the role farmers and the agricultural industry at-large should play. Consumers – many of whom are more disconnected than ever from the world of agriculture – will influence public policy and the future of our industry as we know it. At the same time, we have mission-critical work to do and producing enough food to feed 9.6 billion people by 2050 will not be easy. Through conversations about modern agriculture and its value to the world, the AgVocacy program hopes to inform consumers in an effort to move closer to societal acceptance of modern agriculture.
