Bayer is investing in the sustainable transformation of agriculture on the African continent! The survival of mankind has always depended on what grows faster – the population or agricultural productivity. In most parts of the world, agricultural productivity has increased more strongly over the past 100 years. This is one of the main reasons why we can feed 8 billion people today. On the African continent, however, population growth is far outstripping agricultural productivity. This is not sustainable! For African agriculture to be more productive and to be able to cope with climate change, it needs better access to knowledge, technology, but also investment. That’s why development policy and business need to work together closely – and I’m extremely proud that we at Bayer do our part. Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of participating in a USAID event with distinguished experts like Samantha Power and David M. Beasley. We discussed what is needed to support the transformation of agriculture on the African continent. For more: https://lnkd.in/exkaS_enDuring that event, I was able to talk about our new investment in a state-of-the-art seed facility in Zambia, that will make high-performing maize seeds for food production available to farmers in various countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. It strongly underlines our belief in a food-secure future for Africa, our commitment to contribute through innovation and technology, and our dedication to our unique mission.#HealthForAll #HungerForNone #TeamBayer
