2. Helping small and large farms meet the challenges of global food security
large-scale farms
>100 Ha
Our ambition
is to bring greater food security in an environmentally sustainable way
to an increasing populous world
by creating a worldwide step-change
in farm productivity
450M
smallholder farms
~2.0 Ha
Notes:
To achieve global food security we must recognize the imperative of yield gain but also go beyond it, to encompass all the resources involved.
Our ambition is to bring greater food security in an environmentally sustainable way.
That calls for a step-change in productivity and resource efficiency – on both the world’s five million large farms and its 450 million smallholdings.
Every farmer has a part to play.

3. Demand for food is driven by population growth and rising calorie consumption

+50%
Notes:
In 1950, the world’s population was just 2.5 billion. In October 2011, it hit 7 billion and we can expect another 2 billion people by 2050.
Additionally we will face an ongoing trend of diet changes in emerging markets, where we also see the strongest population growth with +80 %.
To highlight a consequence of this growth; grain demand will increase by +50% by 2050.
* Includes cereals, rice, corn and soybean

4. Environmental stresses are increasing

The change in climate is already reducing water and arable land

1 hectare needs
to feed 5 people
Requiring better use of existing farm land
Notes:
Growers must contend with many external environmental impacts: Climate change and weather volatility, water scarcity and land degradation.
As indicated on this world stress map the change in climate is already reducing water and arable land.
Two thirds of the world’s surface are facing high or medium climate change impact.

The global challenges make it an ever more changing environment for farmers to work in. Population growth and land scarcity will lead to the need for a further increase in people fed per hectare of land.
So while one hectare could feed two people in 1950, by 2030 it will have to feed five. Food demand is already outstripping supply. Farmers must grow more from less: our business is to help make that possible.

Grow more from less
Notes:
Our ambition is to help growers deliver greater food security to an increasingly crowded world in an environmentally sustainable way
It needs a sustainable production system that links technology, people and land:
Better solutions improving farm productivity
while reducing agriculture’s environmental footprint through resource efficiency
Allowing rural economies to build rural, sustainable prosperity

RTP greenhouse expansion announced May 20, 2011
Planned investment of approximately $71 million
Footprint includes approximately 147,000 square feet
Completed in Spring 2013
Ability to control multiple environmental variables allows for more annual growing cycles
Greenhouses:  Positioned to receive optimal sunlight  Made of all glass, instead of acrylic  Independently controlled room temperatures  Control of climate including humidity and gases such as carbon dioxide Growth Chambers:  Designed specifically for Syngenta using technology developed by NASA for growing vegetation on space stations  Ability to control all environmental variables (light, temperature, moisture, etc.)  Ability to precisely measure plant responses
 Research genetics of crops such as corn, soybeans, sugar cane, rice, cereals (wheat) and vegetables  Focus on developing agronomic traits that optimize crop yields by aiding in the efficient use of resources or by resisting stresses  Ability to control multiple environmental variables allows for more annual growing cycles  Ability to isolate plant inputs and measure plant responses makes sure traits are achieving the desired effect  Accelerates research capabilities and discovery process
