It was a huge pleasure to attend the annual SAI Platform conference in Africa in June, where our colleague Bryan Ulmer represented the team. The event took place in Durban, South Africa, and centered around building climate change resilience through regenerative agriculture. It was a unique opportunity to dive into South Africa’s diverse agricultural landscapes and engage in discussions on sustainable practices with core industry partners. Here are some key insights from the event: • Collaboration across the value chain is vital to making positive production impacts. Whether it’s climate, biodiversity or soil health, these are long term objectives and require focus across diverse crop rotations and production systems, necessitating multistakeholder relationships. • Industry alignment is required to move forward in a collaborative way! It’s important to have organizations such as SAI bringing together a diverse groups of stakeholders and driving the alignment necessary to take action. • Regenerative Agriculture adds complexity toward more sustainable production for growers and across the value chain. Innovative, collaborative approaches and new technologies supporting practice changes are integral to success. • Syngenta is well positioned to support growers by adding to existing solutions to enable sustainable production and practice shifts with innovation and technology that will be critical to the adoption and success of regenerative production. #Agriculture #Sustainability #SustainableAgriculture
