Putting a safe, sustainable and flexible toolbox into the hands of farmers

Climate change is an existential threat, and we need to act before it is too late. The effects are a huge challenge for
farmers and farm workers trying to ensure the world’s supply of food. The Covid-19 pandemic has further highlighted
the fragility of the agriculture ecosystem, putting even more strain on those earning a living from farming than before.


Our Good Growth Plan aims to take on these challenges by making agriculture more resilient and sustainable and
driving a better, greener, recovery.

Protecting Crops

From the moment a seed is planted through to harvest, crops need to be protected from weeds, insects and diseases as well as droughts and floods, heat and cold.As a world market leader in crop protection, we help farmers to counter these threats and ensure enough safe, nutritious, affordable food for all – while minimizing the use of land and other agricultural inputs.

To gain and maintain registration, a chemical must be shown to be safe for workers, the environment, crops and consumers.Syngenta is a world market leader in crop protection products, offering farmers an extensive toolbox of solutions. We develop and produce herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and seed treatment products that promote strong and healthy growth.

Innovating crop protection for the future

Protecting crops means investing significantly in research and development. We don’t find active ingredients by chance. We design them and it can take 8 to 10 years to reach commercial launch.

Pests and diseases are a constantly evolving threat, and the changing environment makes it even harder for farmers to grow their crops. So, we’re accelerating the pace of our innovation to meet constantly changing natural threats and society’s increasing expectations.

Whether we design a breakthrough ‘blockbuster’ molecule or develop an active ingredient for a specific purpose, our product development is driven by scientific insights gained by working closely with farmers in the field. We include safety and sustainability criteria from the very beginning.

To create successful solutions, we need diversity of ideas and expertise. We don’t work alone but have collaborations with many partners such as universities, research institutes and sustainable agriculture experts.
