Together we can solve the world’s greatest challenges Science and innovation have a critical part to play in developing the kind of solutions our planet needs to accommodate population growth and improve living standards. To fulfil our mission of Sustainable Growth, we have aligned our focus and
investments along key opportunities created by the world’s biggest challenges for which we can collaborate and apply our science and innovation.
Together, we can feed the world The earth’s population will increase by 150,000 people per day for the next 40 years, which means the world will need to increase food production by 70% in that same period—even as the relative number of acres that can be cultivated globally shrinks. To feed our increasing numbers, we will need to find ways to grow more food per acre.
Together, we can decrease dependence on fossil fuels By 2030, the world will consume 60% more energy than today. And while the demand for energy grows, the supply of fossil fuels will not. Deep expertise in microbiology, fermentation, polymer science and electrochemistry will help make possible the transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable alternatives.
