Focusing on biodiversity

The world population is growing: more than 7 billion people currently live on the Earth – and they need to be fed. Around one third of the world’s land area is already being used either for crop cultivation or animal husbandry.

A further expansion of agriculture would additionally limit the habitat for both animals and plants. The biodiversity of animals, plants and microorganisms is already at risk. Bees are affected, for example – and the success of each year’s harvest depends on them: the hard-working nectar gatherers pollinate more than one third of all agricultural crops. Bayer CropScience has thus developed a program to protect bees and is working on additional projects aimed at preserving natural diversity.

Without bees, there would be billions in harvest losses each year.
