Van Tuong could be one of the farmers on this picture illustrating our employer branding. His experiences are shared by millions of small-holders around the world: extreme weather conditions and outdated growing methods make it harder for them to produce enough food.
Better crops for more food
At the same time, the world population is rising faster than ever before and boosting demand for more and better food. Already today, one out of nine plates remains empty – we urgently need new ideas.
Our experts are working on innovative growing methods to protect seeds and crops. They are also developing new crop varieties to better suit the climatic conditions in different regions. And they are training farmers and providing them with access to knowledge and new technologies. In this way, the company is supporting farmers to increase their yield, improve the quality of their crop and at the same time is fostering sustainable farming. “These initiatives are also designed to improve farming income,” says our CropScience rice expert Mahesh Girdhar. Farmers such as Tran Van Tuong appreciate the experts’ input which they can reliably apply when working in their fields.
With projects in over 30 countries and a number of research and technology cooperation with public and private partners across the world, we are helping to drive forward sustainable change in agriculture and plans to further expand its contribution in the future – with a passion for innovation and the power to change.
“At Bayer, we want to come up with innovative solutions for the central challenges that we face today – and that’s exactly what the rice paddy image in our employer branding represents,” says Christine Knebel, responsible for Corporate Advertising and Employer Branding at Corporate Branding. She heads the Employer Branding Project together with Farsana Jakubi, Global Head of Talent Acquisition.
