Innovation and Technology in Agriculture
Syngenta demonstrated a strong commitment to driving innovation in agriculture through advanced technologies. At The Economist's 5th Annual Sustainability Week in New York, Alexandra, Syngenta's EVP of Sustainability, Corporate Affairs & Transformation, highlighted the company's use of computational power for designing molecules, defining their synthesis, and determining toxicology profiles. This data-driven approach is directly integrated into farm management systems, combining soil, water, and weather data with the power of AI to accelerate innovation and scale.
The company showcased how AI is transforming agriculture, comparing its impact to the revolutionary introduction of tractors. Syngenta illustrated this transformation through real-world examples, such as the Rowe family in Illinois using digital tools to increase field productivity, and Avinash, a smallholder farmer in India, using his phone to protect crops and feed his community.

Sustainability and Regenerative Agriculture
Syngenta highlighted its efforts in embedding regenerative agriculture practices into seed production. The company is partnering with 110,000 seed production farmers across 19 countries to implement these practices, aiming to reduce environmental impacts and restore ecosystems. Key focus areas include restoring soil health, rebuilding biodiversity, improving irrigation management, cutting emissions, and scaling global impact through commercial hectare adoption.
A notable example is the implementation of regenerative tilling practices in soybean seed production in the USA, covering an area equivalent to half of New York City. This initiative demonstrates Syngenta's commitment to large-scale sustainable agricultural practices.
