Today’s farmers are faced with a growing world population that is also increasingly interested in healthier, more nutritious foods produced in a sustainable way. Meeting the those changing demands as well as providing opportunities for farmers to earn premiums for growing crops that meet specific food or feed requirements is key to their future success.

Our commitment

Corteva is committed to developing innovative sustainable solutions that focus on improving the nutritional profiles of crops to deliver enhanced food and feed products. Through our investment in Research & Development, we are focused on improving oil and protein content of crops and advancing hybrids and varieties with improved nutritional profiles. We will be transparent in sharing information about how crops were developed.
