  1. Syngenta Biotechnology Lisa Zannoni Global Head, Regulatory & Stewardship

  2. Helping small and large farms meet the challenges of global food security Our ambition is to bring greaterfood security in an environmentally sustainable way to an increasing populous world by creating a worldwide step-change in farmproductivity 450M 8M large-scale farms smallholder farms >100 Ha ~2.0 Ha

  3. Demand for food is driven by population growth and rising calorie consumption World population > 80% of growth happens in emerging markets World demand for major crops*bn tonnes Developed Food 2050 9 billion Feed Emerging +50% 2011 7 billion 1950 2.5 billion * Includes cereals, rice, corn and soybean Source: FAO, Syngenta analysis

  4. Environmental stresses are increasing World stress map The change in climate is already reducing water and arable land Climate change impact High Medium Requiring better use of existing farm land Low 1 hectare fed 2 people 1 hectare needs to feed 5 people 1950 2030 Source: UNEP, Cline, Syngenta

  5. Our contribution is to raise productivity in sustainable ways improving farm productivity reducing agriculture’s environmental footprint Technology Resource efficiency Better solutions Grow more from less building rural prosperity People Land Rural economies

  6. With passionate people and a strong platform Over 27,000employees in some 90 countries $14.2bn Over $1.25 billion annual R&D investment and more than 5,000 R&D staff sales in 2012

  7.
