Digital agriculture enables farmers to grow food more efficiently. New technologies like satellite-enabled sensors, and AI-driven analysis can help optimize the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and water. 💧 The result? These digital breakthroughs increase efficiency and improve the environmental footprint of agricultural production while enhancing productivity and protecting nature. To support biodiversity while feeding the world, we need innovative solutions. It’s time to side with science 👉 https://lnkd.in/euYqHYv8 #SideWithFoodSecurity #PickASide #DigitalFarming

As the global population grows, so do the challenges to our food systems. That is why we need new ways to develop resilient crops to address climate change and biodiversity loss. Advances in plant breeding, like genome editing, are showing us the way. These techniques develop new, safe crop varieties that are more resistant to pests and diseases, thrive in challenging climates, and improve carbon removal. To balance food security with biodiversity protection, we need agricultural innovation: side with the scientists creating the breakthroughs that will feed our future. 🔬 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/euYqHYv8 #SideWithFoodSecurity #PickASide #AgriculturalInnovation

According to the UN Development Program, by 2050 the world population will reach more than 9 billion people, requiring almost double the food and water supply. So how do we support food security while protecting biodiversity? Plant science and agriculture innovations are an essential part of the solution. Did you know 👇 🕹️ Drones and digital technologies apply inputs more efficiently and precisely. 🌱 Nature-derived products like biologicals and bio-stimulants are complementing synthetic crop protection products. 🔬 Genome-edited crops can provide enhanced resistance to pests, diseases, and climate stressors. Plant-science and technological solutions are bringing agriculture and biodiversity together in harmony.

Plant-science energy and passion in action at #COP16… Recorded on-site, this video captured CropLife International’s Laurie Goodwin and Agro-Bio Colombia’s María Andrea Uscátegui in conversation on the importance of this year’s biodiversity conference, raising the profile of sustainable agriculture and celebrating the Colombian hospitality! #COP16Colombia | Croplife Latin America

Emily Rees was proudly flying the flag for the plant-science industry last night, speaking at the kind invitation of the Mission of Guatemala to the European Union to an audience exploring a forward-looking trade agenda.   Highlighting the need for predictable regulation and anticipatory systems to support sustainable agriculture, Emily blended the trade imperative with the opportunity to showcase the recent launch of CropLife’s flagship Sustainable Pesticide Management Framework program in #Guatemala.     With our thanks and appreciation to H.E. Ambassador Jose Lambour, Vice-Minister Julio Orozco, the formidable moderator Carla Caballeros, and fellow panellists for hosting such a fruitful debate!   Agrequima Croplife Latin America José Perdomo

CropLife International and Agro-Bio join forces at COP16 Colombia, and give voice to the farm organizations engaged in the #CBD convention process. Jorge Bedoya (Sociedad de Agricultores de Colombia), Francesco Brusaporco (World Farmers' Organisation), and Maria AlKayed (Canadian Federation of Agriculture) spoke on the challenges presented by the politicization of science, the importance of implementable policies that respect food security and productivity, and the practices and programs that are already improving biodiversity on-farm.   Masterfully moderated by our very own Laurie Goodwin! #COP16Colombia #COP16
