Challenges and Opportunities in Crop Production Over the Next Decade

Challenges and Opportunities in Crop Production Over the Next Decade 

There has never been a more complex and challenging business environment in global agriculture. The world we live and work in is changing every single day, and nowhere is it more evident than in the agrochemical industry. 

In agriculture, there are few single solutions that will be capable of addressing the problems that farmers and the growing world population face today and in the future. Instead, combinations of solutions and collaborations across the public and private sectors will be required. Neither biotechnology nor chemistry has all the answers. 

The intersection of biology, chemistry, and environmental stewardship/ sustainability has created unique opportunities to meet societal needs for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. New products are safer, better, and more effective in meeting these needs. Productivity improvements will remain the most important factor in determining the characteristics of global markets, especially as the population grows and available land for agriculture is reduced.
