“New microbial-based solutions will contribute to meeting the challenge of producing more food from fewer resources, benefiting farmers, consumers, the environment and society,” said Trish Malarkey, Syngenta Head of R&D. “Our collaboration with DSM brings together breakthrough science and the ability to formulate and deliver biological tools on a global scale.”
Según Syngenta, la colaboración está diseñada para acelerar la entrega de un amplio espectro de productos basados en microorganismos naturales para su aplicación antes y después de la cosecha en todo el mundo. Estos organismos pueden proteger los cultivos de plagas y enfermedades, combatir la resistencia y mejorar la productividad y fertilidad de las plantas.
“Our society asks for sustainable solutions to safeguard food and nutrition security,” Rob van Leen, Chief Innovation Officer of DSM. “With DSM’s bright science in the micro-organism field, we can help address this global challenge together with Syngenta and its specialized know-how and market access. We look forward to using our long-standing experience and leading competence in bio (process) technology to accelerate the development of biological solutions for agriculture.”
