Farmers want to boost productivity while safeguarding their land for future generations--that’s a top priority, according to the 'Global Farmer Insights' study from McKinsey & Company. With an estimated 1 billion more people to feed by mid-century, strategic collaboration is crucial—but now is the time for action. We must drive productivity and deliver better outcomes for farmers through science-based innovations and regenerative practices. At Bayer, we envision a future where regenerative agriculture is at the core of farming. It's not about a single tool or technology—our approach integrates digital tools, biotechnology, and regenerative practices like crop rotation and no-till farming.  But to scale these solutions, we need a supportive regulatory framework that encourages research and international collaboration.  As co-chair of the B20 Sustainable Food Systems & Agriculture Task Force, we shared policy recommendations for advancing a sustainable global food system. In an article last month, I delve into the role of international cooperation and the importance of expanding access to modern farming technologies. https://lnkd.in/g3vgvZAi

Did you know that soil holds 25% of the planet's biodiversity? Maintaining that biome requires regenerative agricultural practices like limiting soil disturbance and investing in cover crops. 🚜 Greentown Labs' Agriculture Sector Pitch Day highlighted incredible innovations that are reducing the food industry's impact on our environment. Ashlie L Burkart MD, CM illustrated that regenerative agriculture, while underfunded in the past, has seen a huge influx of government funding and interest from the largest global ag and food companies. We heard from 7 startups that are leading the way to improved agriculture practices and environmental preservation including, Capro-X Inc., Adaviv, Aquasaic, Regenerative Resources Co, Haystack Ag, KUBO Group, and NONA Technologies.

Like any business, farms require data to make decisions that help them reduce their environmental impact and improve their bottom line. However, the technology to track things like soil health and data for organic certification is often inaccessible to small-scale farmers. LiteFarm, a recent recipient of Scotiabank's Net-Zero Research Fund, is working to change that by putting those data management tools in the hands of farmers. Read how their free app is enabling small farmers to succeed, think sustainably and support researchers.

https://lnkd.in/ezT9rxmM The UK Agri-Tech Centre surveyed over 200 R&D and technology decision-makers in the agriculture and food industries to mark the launch of the new UK Agri-Tech Centre. The report demonstrates how we work closely with industry to understand the priorities of the sector, enabling us to drive forward impactful work and utilise our framework to accelerate agri-tech innovation.
