Rethink Food and Agriculture

Farmers lose 30 to 40 percent of their crops due to pests and diseases, according to the UN Food and Agricultural Organization. To reduce these loses and increase food affordability and accessibility, chemists and biologists at BASF develop innovative solutions to help farmers grow healthy, resilient, and pest-free crops to meet the increasing demands of society.

Better oversight, less risk and more reliability for your planning and decision-making – xarvio™ – Digital Farming Solutions helps you make optimum use of your fields and field zones. Simply and straightforward. You increase efficiency, save time, optimise crop production and crop protection while making a contribution to sustainable agriculture.

Farmers know you can’t get a good crop if you don’t start with good seeds. With a cutting-edge biotechnology research platform, BASF is a leading provider of seeds and traits that deliver higher yields, herbicide tolerance, and disease resistance to help growers maximize the potential of their fields.

The demand for animal protein continues to increase. Meeting this demand while preserving the planet’s resources and environment is a challenge that BASF is tackling with innovative chemistry.

Ideally, we all eat a well-balanced diet of mostly fresh food that provides all the essential vitamins and minerals our body needs. But this isn’t always possible. For example, aging affects the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, or some people may not have access to all the nutrients they require from the food they eat. This is where BASF works to plug the nutrition gap.

Plastics have become an indispensable tool in almost all industries – including food and agriculture. But the growing challenge of plastic waste has made society more critical about its widespread use. Innovations from BASF are helping to provide more sustainable options for the industry.
