A new era of agriculture

The world is entering a new era of agriculture, with a challenge on two fronts:

Farmers must produce more food for a rising population, while growing that food in a way that helps to improve our planet.

At Syngenta, we are focused on how we can empower farmers to be successful.

We create impact field-by-field and acre-by-acre to transform agriculture around the world. 

Through the power of data and systems we improve growers’ decisions in real-time to prevent crop failure and maximize yields. We develop global digital systems like CROPWISE™ - a suite of digital tools that help farmers maximize yields, prevent crop failure and increase profitability through decision making support and precise applications.
