For farmers, one disappointing yield season can be the difference between staying in business or not. Speaking at the International Seed Federation World Seed Congress 2026 in conversation with Susannah Savage, Agriculture and Commodities Correspondent at the Financial Times, Syngenta Group’s CEO Jeff Rowe reflected on the responsibility agriculture innovation companies carry in helping growers build resilience. “It’s a big responsibility for us. We think about not just improving yield, but improving the reliability of that yield.” Around the world, growers are facing increasing pressure from volatile weather, disease, resistance and resource constraints. Helping farmers produce more resilient crops requires bringing together multiple scientific disciplines in increasingly sophisticated ways: from genetics and genome editing to chemistry, biologicals, and digital technologies. When we help farmers reduce uncertainty, we help strengthen food security for everyone. 💪🌱 #WorldSeed2026 #SeedIsLife #Farming
