Climate-Smart Agriculture At A Glance 

Climate change is reshaping our agricultural food system at an accelerated pace. In this dynamic landscape, where productivity and emission reduction are two sides of the same coin, farmers are encouraged to adopt climate-smart methods and embrace new technologies that maintain yields, ensure food security, and minimize environmental impact. 

As a trusted partner with over 100 years of agronomic expertise, we are committed to understanding farmers challenges and supporting them with technology and services on this journey towards decarbonization and climate change resilience. 

What target did we set for ourselves?

Innovating Towards a 30% CO2e Reduction Target by 2030
We have set ourselves a goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions by 30% per ton of crop produced by 2030. To achieve this goal, we are actively working on innovating the means, methods, measures, tools and production practices involved in climate-smart agriculture.
