One challenge for sustainable development is ensuring enough food for a growing world population. Since arable farmland is limited, innovations are essential here. Our research and development activities focus on solutions ranging from soil to seeds and crops.
In addition to products for seed enhancement and innovations for better soil management, BASF will also provide technologies that make plants more resistant to stress factors such as heat, cold and nutrient deficiency. These solutions strengthen the health of crops, thus going beyond conventional crop protection.
