Bayer truly believes that in combination with sustainability
focus agriculture can be an actually is part of this solution.

{{00:00:30}}
Innovations such as digital tools and improve
plant breeding technologies, help farmers use the

{{00:00:35}}
fewer of these amazing natural resources while also
growing enough for an increasing world population.

{{00:00:44}}
Developing smart solutions is also going to help reduce agriculture's
impact on climate change with a better weed control solutions.

{{00:00:51}}
Farmers reduce the need to till this decreases the
tractor passes over the field, which not only causes less

{{00:00:57}}
soil disruption, therefore curbing these greenhouse gas
emissions, and also the fossil fuel use from the tractor.

{{00:01:03}}
But when the soil is left untiled it's better able to
store carbon, not to mention the precious nutrients

{{00:01:08}}
and water that the plants are desperately need.

{{00:01:11}}
By developing these solutions that help farmers grow enough
for all of us on less land agriculture is working to preserve

{{00:01:18}}
the natural habitats and hence protect the ability of the
natural ecosystem to absorb and store carbon and to heal.

{{00:01:26}}
Farmers could even find ways to identify areas on their land that
could add more value to their operation is biodiversity sanctuary

{{00:01:32}}
support to animals, pollinators and their surrounding environment.

{{00:01:37}}
As I said, I'm on my first slide kind of at the outset
by a really believes that data science and technology

{{00:01:43}}
hold the key to better solutions for health and
nutrition and we're definitely not running short on data.

{{00:01:49}}
Every day we have, and people all over the world are creating
two and a half quintillion bytes of data now, versus the

{{00:01:56}}
people that aren't are aren't good at math like myself.

{{00:01:59}}
Just to make that visual for you,
that's a number with 18 zeros behind it.

{{00:02:04}}
And we're creating this data every day through the work
that we do, our smartphones, our fitness trackers, as

{{00:02:10}}
we take zoom calls, data is really, truly everywhere.
