Beauty, innovation, and connection. Fields of Innovation brings together people from all over the world to see the latest breakthroughs that are helping transform the way we grow and consume food. Last week in the Netherlands, we welcomed growers, producers, distributors, and other stakeholders representing 60+ nationalities in Seed Valley, the Silicon Valley for vegetable seed innovation. They had the opportunity to see 400 varieties across 20+ crops that will be grown in farm fields and greenhouses in the years to come. This year’s event spotlighted revolutionary advances in disease resistance, sustainable growing practices, and breakthrough breeding technologies that are reshaping the future of vegetable production. We also believe in inspiring the next generation of innovators, and we also welcomed hundreds of students of all ages as part of our “Grow and Make Impact” initiative. It was a great chance to get them excited for a career in agriculture! Want to see the event in action? Swipe through and take a virtual tour through this year’s Fields of Innovation.

Did you know that golf courses are thriving ecosystems? The greenkeepers at Goring and Streatley Golf Club in the U.K. have combined ecological habitat creation with turf innovation, restoring 7.5 hectares for pollinators. 🐝 🦋 As the Ryder Cup tees off, golf courses worldwide are showcasing how they’re nurturing the biodiversity around them. From natural meadows to smart turf innovations, superintendents are redefining what sustainability looks like in golf. Our Operation Pollinator program and innovative turf growth solutions help deliver healthier, more resilient turf. With the right stewardship, golf courses can play a vital role in supporting wildlife, improving playability, and building community value. 🏌️ Explore the innovation on golf courses here: https://lnkd.in/gmsmFkYW #Golf #Innovation #Sustainability

Every fall, England hums with a promise of fresh, ripe apples, millions of them, delicious and vibrant in variety. 🍎 But under these orchards swarm Rosy Apple Aphids, small invasive pests which (if left unattended) are capable of destroying 80% of all harvests. Along with UK Research and Innovation, we’ve supported research that helped find new proof for the positive benefits of working with nature: planting wildflower strips through orchards. 🌸 These blossoms create the ideal habitat for beneficial insects like hoverflies, ladybirds, and lacewings, which naturally curb the aphid population, reducing the damage caused to crops while improving the biodiversity of English fields. #Apples #WildFlowers #SustainableFarming

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has incredible potential in agriculture, and we’re excited to continue expanding how we’re using this technology for the benefit of farmers and growers around the world. Syngenta Vegetable Seeds and Heritable Agriculture announced today a collaboration to harness AI technology to determine the best vegetable varieties to offer growers. Heritable, a spinoff from Google parent Alphabet’s innovation lab, will leverage historical data on geographical conditions and crop trialing with the goal of better predicting the best-performing commercial varieties in different regions to help Syngenta ensure growers have the best possible product offering. Traditionally, seed companies spend countless hours evaluating data, trialing different varieties and sourcing feedback from growers and the value chain. While these inputs are still important, technology now offers a way to accelerate these decisions and help growers plant the right seed for success. If successful, this collaboration will be able to predict scalable vegetable seed performance for a grower anywhere in the world, up to a 10-meter resolution.

Measuring soil health means digging deeper. 🌱 In episode five of Tiny Titans, our colleague Yuliia Shevchenko explains the power of data-led visualization tools in nurturing soil health. As well as helping farmers see how biological solutions impact crop performance, these tools enable our scientists to provide tailored insights, services, and education on how biologicals and biostimulants perform under different conditions. It’s a feedback loop of learning: the more our farmers discover, the more we do, driving a shared journey toward healthier soils. 🌎 Watch the full video via the link in the comments!👇 Syngenta Biologicals #Biologicals #Syngenta #SoilHealth

Once a food-insecure nation, Vietnam has grown to become one of the world's critical food producers. In this month’s Crops & Cultures, we explore how agriculture has been at the root of this remarkable journey, playing a pivotal role in the country’s growth and development. 🇻🇳 With a growing emphasis on enhancing product quality, adopting digital technologies, and improving storage and packaging to maintain competitiveness in international markets, Vietnam’s agriculture is undergoing a dynamic shift to sustainability. Through our line-up of Agrisure® corn traits, we’re helping provide integrated crop solutions and agronomic knowledge to growers, supporting them in sustainably increasing productivity, profitability, and crop quality.

There’s more to corn than meets the kernel… 👀 🌽 Here are five facts you may not know about the U.S.’s No. 1 crop planted by acres! 🙌 Field corn is a nutrient powerhouse grain that’s found in thousands of everyday edible (and inedible) products. However, cattle can’t always access its energy efficiently, which is why hybrids like Enogen®, whose unique alpha-amylase enzyme helps livestock metabolize grain more effectively, are fantastic for nutrition! 🐮 ✨ Scroll to learn more about this amazing crop, and let us know which of these facts took you by surprise. 👇 #Enogen #AgTech

Our scientists discover practical solutions farmers can trust. Their obsessions power our innovation — and we want to share their passion with you! 💪 In this new series, we’re getting into the ✨ obsessions ✨behind our biggest breakthroughs. First up, Eileen Scott, who’s studying septoria tritici blotch — one of the most destructive fungal diseases affecting wheat. Here's what it does to its host: - Septoria releases spores that cause yellow blotches 💨 - The blotches grow into brown lesions on leaves 🍂 - The lesions reduce plants’ ability to photosynthesize 🌱 The solution? While there’s no way to revive dead leaves, Eileen and her colleagues at our UK research site, Jealott’s Hill, have helped slow down septoria and protect healthy crops.

What if plants and soil microorganisms were speaking a chemical language—one we’re just beginning to decode? The cutting-edge field of metabolomics, or the study of small molecules from living organisms, has the potential to reframe how we think about soil health and biology. 🌱 In the fourth episode of Tiny Titans, our colleague Benjamin THIOMBIANO talks about the science that analyzes the chemical language shared between plants and soil microorganisms, helping us understand how plants use signals to alter the biological, physical and chemical conditions of surrounding soil to meet growth, defense, or nutrient needs.
