Tomorrow’s challenge: By 2050, United Nations’ experts say our planet must double food production to feed an anticipated population of 9.3 billion people.
A dwindling water supply coupled with farmers in need, increased demands for energy, and a rapidly changing climate have placed more pressures on agriculture than ever before. How do we overcome these obstacles? Understanding all the challenges is the first step to creating solutions. Innovation holds the key.
By 2030, Monsanto commits to do our part by:
- Developing improved seeds that help farmers double yields from 2000 levels for corn, soybeans, cotton, and spring-planted canola, with a $10 million grant pledged to improve wheat and rice yields.
- Conserving resources through developing seeds that use one-third fewer key resources per unit of output to grow crops, while working to lessen habitat loss and improve water quality.
- Helping improve the lives of all farmers who use our products, including an additional five million people in resource-poor farm families by 2020.
How can you do your part?

- PRODUCE MORE
With 9 billion mouths to feed, farmers must grow twice as much food by 2050. How will we meet this challenge? 
- CONSERVE MORE
Agriculture feeds the world. But irrigation consumes 70% of the world’s fresh water. How do we unlock the natural potential of seeds? 
- IMPROVE LIVES
Agriculture is the world’s largest employer. Many of these people are among the hungry and poor, living on less than $2 per day. How can we help ensure they are able to feed their families?
