In the Midst of a Global Food Crisis, Bayer is Helping Empower Farmers
Breakthrough innovations, tool accessibility and investing in vegetable seeds help maximize harvest potential.
Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine is a most pressing issue right now, and it has been affecting food prices across the world. Together the two nations account for nearly one-third of global wheat and barley supplies and two-thirds of the world's export of sunflower oil used for cooking. The conflict damaged Ukraine's ports and agricultural infrastructure so significantly that it is likely to limit the country's agricultural production for years.
Climate change and resulting droughts in Brazil and China added to the succession of troubles, crippling soybean and wheat crops, respectively. Farmers also experienced fertilizer shortages, which led to difficulties with the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons, and there have been other major problems with key crops and industries in just about all other parts of the world.
Lockwood-Taylor added,"Bayer is committed to empowering farmers on the ground by providing access to the seed and technologies they need to be most effective during this time of hardship. We must all do our part—as individuals and organizations—to help address global food security now."scientists are applying their knowledge to their vegetable seed business, helping provide farmers around the world with tailored solutions designed to improve their harvests.
