  • Food & Nutrition:

    At Monsanto, we are committed to helping solve one of the world’s biggest food challenges: productivity. In order to feed the world’s growing population and meet global food and nutrition security needs, farmers must produce more food in the next fifty years than they have in the past 10,000 years combined.* With increasingly limited resources, and the threat of continued climate change, experts believe the only way farmers can achieve the required levels of production will be to produce more on every available acre. That’s why our people are working hard to contribute to the goal of doubling yields in our core crops by 2030. We are proud to be working with our partners to help develop innovative programs and technologies throughout the world to help reach that goal. * Source: J. Hatfield, US National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment.

  • Communities:

    At Monsanto, we believe agriculture has the power to lift people out of poverty, improve communities and change lives. That’s why our people work so diligently with our partners to provide the best seed and the best agriculture practices to people all over the world. It’s a commitment that starts in our Pledge and continues through each and every one of our employees and partners. In short, we support those who support the world’s food supply.
