Monsanto’s Sustainable Yield Initiative is a three-point commitment focused on increasing global food production in the face of growing demand, limited natural resources and a changing climate. We remain committed to work in new partnerships with other businesses, citizen groups and governments to do our part in the face of these challenges.
Producing more yield
Monsanto will help farmers double yield in our three core crops of corn, soybeans and cotton by 2030, compared to a base year of 2000. This commitment applies to countries where farmers have access to current and anticipated seed products and technologies offered by Monsanto.
Conserving more resources
Monsanto seed products will additionally reduce by one-third per unit produced the aggregate amount of key resources, such as land, water and energy, required to grow crops by the year 2030. We also will develop partnerships to protect water quality and habitat.
Improving farmers’ lives
Monsanto will help improve the lives of the farmers we serve, including an additional 5 million people in resource-poor farm families by 2020, by providing choices for modern agricultural technology.
