The biodiversity of agricultural crops in the United States

Biodiversity isn’t just a goal; it’s an asset to our planet. All parts of an ecosystem—animals, plants, microbes, and humans—are interconnected. In order for our planet thrive, we need to not only find ways to meet increasing demands for better harvests, but to do so in a way that also protects healthy ecosystems and the many organisms that inhabit them. At Bayer, we’re working to improve upon even our best ideas to:

Steward and pioneer innovative solutions that empower farmers to farm better, like advanced digital tools, plant breeding, biotechnology, and other technologies that that help improve land use to grow enough food while using fewer resources and preserving space for natural ecosystems

Protect habitats alongside farmers and external partners by avoiding deforestation and supporting reforestation efforts around the world

Support sustainable farming practices such as Integrated Weed Management, cover crops, conservation tillage, crop rotation, and other methods that help farmers conserve natural resources, maintain natural habitat, and protect the environment

Maintain rigorous standards in environmental safety testing, risk assessment, and transparency to produce solutions that minimize agriculture's effect on biodiversity

Collaborate with others within and outside of our industry to pursue new ideas that foster compatibility between agriculture and all organisms
