Country Snapshots
People around the world depend on agriculture for their most basic needs: food, clothing and energy. As global population continues to soar, farmers everywhere will need to increase production while conserving precious resources like water and arable land in order to keep up with demand. From the large-scale corn grower in Mexico to the subsistence farmer in Burkina Faso growing just enough to feed her family, the objectives are simple: producing more and conserving more. By 2030 Monsanto is committed to helping farmers double their yields in corn, soybeans, cotton and canola from 2000 levels while using a third less resources. The country snapshots summarize the state of agriculture in various countries today to give a sense of their progress in making agriculture more productive and more sustainable.
