BASF and the world's leading crop protection companies have announced a new commitment called "ZERO by 40" to support the research, development and supply of innovative products to save lives and help eradicate malaria by 2040.
Agriculture industry unites to beat malaria
“Every year on World Malaria Day, we mark the fight to beat malaria, but for half of our world, every day is a fight against this devastating disease. Malaria causes sickness and death, reduces productivity, fuels poverty and creates hunger, especially in impoverished, rural farming communities. The "ZERO by 40" commitment will connect the smartest minds in public health and science, and I am truly optimistic that it will be a force for change. We can be the generation to end malaria.”
