Global Head, Strategic Communications and Employee Engagement, Global Syngenta Seeds
🌱 Crops and Cultures from Syngenta continues to be a hit! Food is not only a basic necessity of life, carrying nutrients that provide the energy our bodies need to function, but food is also considered a fundamental part of cultural heritage. Food brings people together creating community. And that is the purpose of this series, highlighting the interconnected agricultural industry. Leveraging each country's strengths, talents, and resources to provide the world's population with the grains and produce required. One country can't do it alone. Today, we travel to the Netherlands. One of my most favorite countries in the entire world. Although one could drive from the northern tip of the country to the southern tip in only a 4 hour drive, this country is a global force in the industry. Often hailed as the "Silicon Valley of Seeds" the tradition of innovation and excellence is rooted in centuries of agriculture and food that continues to propel this tiny but might nation forward.
