From Farm to Fork: How Technology Can Help Lift Smallholder Farmers Out of Poverty

The world produces enough food to feed every individual, yet almost 690 million people continue to go hungry. The irony is that many of those who are undernourished spend their days growing food for others. Smallholder farmers, who cultivate less than 5 acres of land, constitute a large portion of the world’s poor living on less than $2 a day, according to World Bank estimates.

By Any Measure: How Small Improvements Lead to Big Gains in Efficiency

As agriculture has become more digital, what used to be measured in acres, bushels, gallons, and tons is now quantified on a considerably smaller scale—even down to individual raindrops. As a result, the conclusions we can draw from those detailed measurements have become more accurate and useful, helping farmers save money and reduce their environmental impact. Farmers have always accumulated knowledge by interacting with their fields, but today they are using data to deepen that understanding.

Bayer & PepsiCo | The Best Snack Starts in the Field

There is not a more South American tuber than potato. This ingredient also inspires delicious product lines from PepsiCo, one of the leading global food and beverage companies. The Company knows that success highly depends on what comes from the field, so it is there that we turn our eyes to secure the best raw material for our snacks. Due to the high demand of potatoes for industrial use in Brazil, PepsiCo has been developing since 2009 the Agro Batata program, in partnership with Bayer.

Drip By Drip: How We Solve the Global Water Scarcity Crisis

As the global population continues to rapidly grow, the demand for fresh water is growing with it. Even without accounting for shifting weather patterns driving regional droughts like those seen recently in California and the Horn of Africa, demand for fresh water for agricultural, industrial and municipal use is predicted to increase by 50% globally between 2000 and 2030.

However, the supply of water is not keeping pace with demand. By 2030, scientists project there will be a 40% gap between the expected need for and availability of water.

This situation is unsustainable. If we are to support a growing, increasingly demanding world, we must tackle the water scarcity crisis –so where can we find the water we need?
