CropLife International

As CropLife International's President and CEO Emily Rees notes, "This is the clearest of signals that upholding free-trade agreements delivers the stability needed for innovation to flourish and to anchor our food security. I applaud the U.S. and Canadian Governments for taking steps to ensure that the commitments and obligations under free-trade agreements are upheld and look forward to a resumption of access for all parties to the agricultural innovations so crucial to lives and livelihoods alike.” CropLife International, the trade association representing the plant science industry, today voiced its support for the outcome of the United States-Mexico-Canada free-trade agreement (USMCA) dispute settlement process in which Mexico is formally requested to repeal its Decree prohibiting the use or import of GM corn.    

May your holidays be as bright as a field of golden wheat and as fruitful as a bumper harvest! Season's Greetings from CropLife International!

Now is the moment to side with technology for global biodiversity and food security. Why? 🛰️ With innovative tech, we can conserve habitats and support diverse species, from soil microbes to pollinators. 🥕 With smart solutions we can feed 9 billion people by 2050 sustainably. 🔬 With advanced science we can grow resilient crops and ecosystems that can adapt to a changing climate. It’s time to harness technology’s potential for a balanced, biodiverse and food secure future. It’s time to pick a side 👉 https://lnkd.in/euYqHYv8 #SideWithFoodSecurity #PickASide #Biodiversity

Did you know that farmers can use digital technologies and data analysis to reduce environmental impact and boost crop yields? Precision farming improves efficiency by applying the right inputs – water, fertilizer, and pesticides – in the right amounts, at the right times. Examples include: 🛰️ Using remote sensing, satellites, and GPS mapping to monitor crop and soil health and field variability. 🌾 Adjusting the rate of inputs – seeds, fertilizers, and water – according to the specific needs or different areas within a field. 🫛 Collecting data and applying machine learning to predict optimal planting, watering, and harvesting times. 🚜 Using autonomous equipment such as drones to apply water and fertilizers and manage fields with high precision and accuracy. Precision farming is a smart way to protect biodiversity and feed the world sustainably. Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/euYqHYv8   #SideWithFoodSecurity #PickASide #PrecisionFarming

Digital agriculture enables farmers to grow food more efficiently. New technologies like satellite-enabled sensors, and AI-driven analysis can help optimize the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and water. 💧 The result? These digital breakthroughs increase efficiency and improve the environmental footprint of agricultural production while enhancing productivity and protecting nature. To support biodiversity while feeding the world, we need innovative solutions. It’s time to side with science 👉 https://lnkd.in/euYqHYv8 #SideWithFoodSecurity #PickASide #DigitalFarming

As the global population grows, so do the challenges to our food systems. That is why we need new ways to develop resilient crops to address climate change and biodiversity loss. Advances in plant breeding, like genome editing, are showing us the way. These techniques develop new, safe crop varieties that are more resistant to pests and diseases, thrive in challenging climates, and improve carbon removal. To balance food security with biodiversity protection, we need agricultural innovation: side with the scientists creating the breakthroughs that will feed our future. 🔬 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/euYqHYv8 #SideWithFoodSecurity #PickASide #AgriculturalInnovation

According to the UN Development Program, by 2050 the world population will reach more than 9 billion people, requiring almost double the food and water supply. So how do we support food security while protecting biodiversity? Plant science and agriculture innovations are an essential part of the solution. Did you know 👇 🕹️ Drones and digital technologies apply inputs more efficiently and precisely. 🌱 Nature-derived products like biologicals and bio-stimulants are complementing synthetic crop protection products. 🔬 Genome-edited crops can provide enhanced resistance to pests, diseases, and climate stressors. Plant-science and technological solutions are bringing agriculture and biodiversity together in harmony.
