The investment supports a new Syngenta sustainability goal of delivering at least two technological breakthroughs to market each year, to reduce agriculture\u2019s contribution to climate change, harness its mitigation capacity, and help the food system stay within planetary boundaries. Erik Fyrwald, Chief Executive Officer at Syngenta also announced that the investment in research and development for sustainable agriculture will be matched by a drive to reduce the carbon intensity of the company\u2019s operations by at least 50% by 2030 to support the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change. Syngenta\u2019s commitment has been validated and endorsed by the <strong>Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAgriculture is now at the front line of global efforts to tackle climate change,\u201d said Mr Fyrwald. \u201cSyngenta is committed to accelerating our innovation to find better and ever safer solutions to address the shared challenge of climate change and biodiversity loss.\u201d \u201cThese aren\u2019t just words, this is real action that will drive focus in Syngenta to help farmers tackle climate change and reduce the sector\u2019s contribution to the world\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions.\u201d The $2 billion will be directed towards programs with clearly differentiated benefits or breakthrough technologies that will enable a step change in agricultural sustainability, such as land use, soil health and integrated pest management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The targets form part of Syngenta\u2019s Accelerating Innovation commitment launched earlier this year to address the increased challenges faced by farmers because of climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss. Progress against these targets will be reported annually and independently audited. The announcement was in large part informed by the completion of 150 listening sessions around the globe \u2013 including Hungary as well &#8211; to help the company\u2019s leaders identify priority areas for investment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11891 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/syngenta.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"631\" height=\"446\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 631px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 631\/446;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Syngenta dedicates $2 billion over five years to innovation specifically targeted at delivering a step change in agricultural sustainability CEO Erik Fyrwald announced the market launch of two technological breakthroughs [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38748,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-member-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
