In the coming weeks, millions of corn and soy farmers would have already planted their crop in the season. For farmers, each growing season starts with planting the seed. Ultimately, with proper crop management and favorable weather, the seed becomes a good harvest, rewarding the farmer for what has been invested all season long. However, this only becomes a reality with passion and the will to overcome challenges, and we want to learn from farmers. They are at the center of what we do at Bayer. This is why we started the Farmer Voice survey. What are farmers' biggest concerns in their livelihood?  What do farmers need to be successful today & in the future?  How do farmers adapt with the impact of agriculture and climate change on their farms? For us, we're bringing the farmer's voice to the conversation in addressing global challenges in front of us--food security and climate change. More importantly, we're working to deliver the right innovations, expertise, and interventions to farmers so that they can continue to be successful in producing food for a growing population while helping to restore nature.   This is how we want to reward farmers across the globe for making their voices heard and for showing their perseverance and passion to feed the world in each and every season. #TeamBayer is working on the next Farmer Voice survey and should be ready in the coming months. In the meantime, I encourage everyone in my network to keep advocating for farmers & listen to their story when you get the opportunity. https://lnkd.in/giTavWAm

Extreme weather events are increasingly challenging farmers across the nation, putting both crops and food security at risk. So, what can be done to ensure sustainable agriculture for a growing global population? Enter Ivey Professor Joshua Pearce and his revolutionary Agrivoltaic Agrotunnel. The first of its kind, this 1000-square-foot facility not only shields crops from harsh conditions but is also fully solar-powered and mobile – presenting a viable solution to transform global food security.

This is AMAZING Agrivoltaics Agrotunnel! We produce food with minimum carbon and land footprints! Local indoor farming (IF) plays a significant role in the sustainable food production sector. The operation and energy costs, however, have led to bankruptcy and difficulties in cost management of indoor farming operations. To control the volatility and reduce the electricity costs for indoor farming, the agrivoltaics agrotunnel is introduced.

🌱 Regenerative agriculture has numerous benefits for farmers and the environment, from improving soil health to increasing long-term income. 📈 So, what's holding farmers back from adopting these practices more quickly? 🤔 According to this recent The Wall Street Journal article, several factors contribute to the slower adoption rate, including challenges such as short-term economics, knowledge gaps, lack of financial incentives, the need for technical support, political hurdles, and farming culture perceptions. 🚜💸🔗💰🛠️🏛️👥 Companies like Bayer are committed to supporting farmers with everything they need to make their farming practices both more profitable and regenerative.

A quick video snippet featuring my Bayer colleague, Mark Kidnie, discussing the importance of crop protection. By improving yields and ensuring better food quality, we’re not just supporting farmers- we’re also making strides in global food security. With the right tools and technologies, we can help farmers tackle their biggest challenges and produce enough food to feed billions. Crop protection is essential, and it’s exciting to be part of a company that’s leading the way in making a real difference. #TeamBayer #Innovation #SustainableAgriculture
