Why is the Bayer ForwardFarm important?

Farmers in Belgium, Europe and around the world are faced with complex challenges - they need to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable way, to adapt agricultural activities to changing weather conditions, to manage soil fertility and water quality in an optimal way, to boost biodiversity, to  maintain their agricultural land in good condition and meet the growing demands of the food chain and the consumer. At Bayer we are convinced that a holistic approach that integrates different solutions combined with the continuous sharing of knowledge between all stakeholders in the value chain is the best way to meet these challenges.
 
In line with Bayer's "Science For A Better Life" mission, Bayer CropScience is committed to provide innovative solutions that support a sustainable agriculture. In practice, this means that we develop customer-oriented solutions to protect the crop, increase crop yields, guarantee the best quality and protect the health of people and the environment. These innovations help farmers to combine their economic success with a responsibility towards the environment and society.
