Producing good quality and abundant food

		Providing solutions that improve crop health and productivity while protecting environmental health
		Developing enhanced crop varieties with improved quality traits, including increased nutritional value
		Providing technical support and training to farming communities within the framework of Integrated Crop Management (ICM)
		Cooperating with stakeholders in the food chain to enhance the value and quality of food
		Integrating food-safety aspects into R&D activities
		Helping avoid microbiological contaminants issues, such as mycotoxins through technology provision

Annual global crop losses avoided by the use of crop protection products are estimated to be as much as 30 – 40% at a global level. R & D towards enhanced varieties will also contribute to higher yields and improved quality produce, including increased nutritional value. Therefore, these technologies are essential to secure the supply of high quality and abundant food.

Enhancing global food standards
In many other countries, a variety of food safety and hygiene standards have been developed. Bayer CropScience is cooperating with stakeholders in the food chain at different levels to help them attain the increasingly demanding market requirements.

Challenges
As the demand and availability of food, at even higher standards, increases still further, we are committed to assist all stakeholders in the food chain to find solutions to satisfy consumers’ demands whilst acknowledging their perspectives.
