The global challenges
| |
| Population growth and changing consumption patterns |
| |
| Growing need for high-quality and affordable food in Asia |
| |
| Cultivation of rice, the staple food in Asia, has so far been extremely resource-intensive |
| |
| High methane emissions in rice cultivation |
| |
| |
| In Indonesia, Bayer CropScience is forming partnerships with farmers and is working together with representatives of the local authorities |
| |
| Together and where appropriate, they are converting production from transplanted to direct-seeded rice |
| |
| We provide seeds, sowing equipment, expertise and crop protection products as well as training |
| |
| The result: higher yields, better quality, lower resource consumption |
| |
| 30 percent reduction in methane emissions |
| |
| |
| The newly developed cultivation methods boost rice yields substantially. That's tremendously important - not only for Indonesia but also in terms of providing rice for the world's entire population. Achim Dobermann, research head at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) |
