In the ongoing battle against climate change and reducing our carbon footprint,… Regenerative agriculture It is emerging as a powerful tool for producing more with less. This technology applied in the countryside also allows the industry to restore – at the same time – degraded ecosystems.
approach this form of Food production Focuses on a completely innovative model that not only strives Increase yield and productivitybut it also contributes significantly to Mitigating the effects of climate change.
the Regenerative agriculture It relies on a comprehensive approach that combines multiple practices, such as crop diversification and soil cover. One of its main characteristics is the possibility ofTo kidnap” Carbon Dioxide From the air, through a natural process it captures this compound and stores it underground in order to improve your health.
“Our R&D is aligned with the requirements of regenerative agriculture, realizing that this is part of a system and we contribute a large part of our R&D dedicated to this production system,” explained Federico Jarat, Head of Crop Science Industry Affairs. Bayer CropScience Southern Cone.
Therefore, healthy, mulched soil that is more water efficient is essential for Combating climate change And increase ratesto kidnap” to carbon.
“This type of agriculture suggests that we produce more with less and recover more. One of the expected results of this practice is increased yields and increased productivity, and this is somehow linked to reducing the carbon footprint,” explained Jarratt.
In this context, Bayer Agro Its focus is on continuing research and development of this type of production system.
The company contributes Innovative solutions In key areas such as Crops, Seeds y Biotechnology, Crop protection y Effective use of nitrogen. This investment in research and development seeks to provide farmers with the tools needed to effectively implement regenerative practices.
With regard to crops, Bayer – In the short term – it will have short corn varieties in its portfolio that will challenge traditional production systems. These varieties will allow more efficient use of resources and improve production. Additionally, in the field of biotechnology, the company offers the latest innovations to maximize crop efficiency.
this way, Digitization Plays an essential role in Regenerative agriculture. the group And the data analysis It allows you to make informed decisions and use inputs efficiently. it is, Bayer It recognizes the importance of digitalization and is creating tools and platforms that help farmers improve their practices.
“Regenerative agriculture is part of Bayer’s vision for the agriculture of the future. We recognize that it is an ideal tool to fight the two most important challenges we face today in the industry, such as food safety and climate change,” said Federico Garat.
