Corteva Agriscience is committed to advancing sustainable agriculture to enrich lives and our planet for generations to come. To do this we’ve established 14 global goals, to achieve by 2030, to help increase the resilience of our global food system. These goals include:
Provide Training to Farmers
Provide training to 25 million farmers on soil health, nutrient and water stewardship, and productivity best practices by 2030. In the UK our Resilient and Ready Programme with LEAF has been contributing to this goal. We also have our ‘Learn with Corteva’ programme and our #FollowTheCrop series launched in 2021 with a range of videos through the year to support farmers.
Check out further learning opportunities:
- Free online course on Grassweed control in OSR, propyzamide and best practice.
- Resilient & Ready virtual field day recording: carbon.
- Resilient & Ready virtual field day recording: biodiversity.
Decrease Greenhouse Gas Emissions while Increasing Yields
Enable farmers to sustainably increase crop yields by 20 percent while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent within cropping systems compared to 2020. This goal will be achieved by delivering best practices and innovations to advance productivity, while protecting our planet. Examples of innovations in this area include our Utrisha® N Nutrient Efficiency Optimiser and our Instinct Nitrogen Stabiliser.
Sustainability is also about ensuring the inputs used are sustainable and to this end Corteva has also committed to a 65% intensity reduction for direct emissions from owned or controlled sources e.g. our manufacturing plants and including indirect emissions from the generation of purchased energy.
Overall, our commitments should give farmers and agronomists the confidence that by choosing our products, they are purchasing from a company with sustainability at its core.
In our February Corteva Talks e-newsletter, we will have a focused sustainability special. You can sign-up here.
