soil Why is
so important? Soil is the foundation of all life on Earth – without it, we couldn’t grow the food we need to live. But it’s at risk from many different threats. So, we’re doing everything we can to help growers protect it.
At Syngenta, we recognize that the future is in the heads, hearts, hands, and health of the next generation of leaders. That’s why we’re proud to support 4-H Canada as the Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security pillar partner. Syngenta is working with 4-H to support existing programs such as Proud to Bee a 4-H’er, as well as new ones. Launched last spring, Steeped in Soil is helping 4-H members to understand the importance of healthy soils and how and why they are essential to life and the food that we produce and eat. Our commitment to farmland goes beyond soil education. As part of The Good Growth Plan, Syngenta has committed to improve the fertility of 10 million hectares of farmland on the brink of degradation by 2020. For this to happen, challenges such as soil erosion, degradation, poor soil management, and desertification must be addressed. Learn more at www.goodgrowthplan.com
