At Syngenta, our focus is on helping feed the growing world population by helping farmers around the globe grow more from less­less land, water, fossil fuel, carbon release and other impacts to the environment and people. Check it out here. Many of our 27,000 employees volunteer, and the company funds mainly conservation, agricultural education and related efforts around the world. Also, the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture works in developing countries and emerging markets to help small farmers both feed their families and contribute to global food security. We do this by extending science-based know-how, facilitating access to quality inputs and linking small holders to markets in profitable ways. This adds value for rural communities and sustainably improves food security.
