Our work matters

Working for Syngenta offers you the opportunity to play a part in addressing one of the most urgent challenges facing global agriculture today: how to feed more people in a sustainable way.

World population is expected to grow by more than 2 billion to 8 billion by 2030, a rise of 30%. Moreover, changing diets and an increased calorie intake mean farmers will need to increase their output by even more. Agricultural land and water are limited, so farmers must raise yields from limited natural resources in an environmentally sustainable way.

Technological innovation is vital to increasing the production and quality of crops. By releasing the potential of plants, our innovative crop protection products and seeds are helping to address these global challenges: through increasing yields and reducing losses from pests and disease, our products help farmers grow more food from existing land. Without crop protection products, around 40% of the world's crops would be lost to pests and diseases.

We work closely with growers and partners globally to create sustainable solutions for the future. For instance, we encourage farmers across the world to use our products alongside sustainable farming practices by using the best available resources, protecting and enhancing biodiversity, and conserving soil and water. As a result, we bring increased prosperity and a better quality of life to rural communities.
