Why is soil so important?

Fertile, healthy soil is essential for agriculture and food security. Without it we couldn’t grow the food we need to live. But it’s at risk from many different threats: erosion, degradation, poor soil management, desertification and urbanization. Syngenta works with growers to help them restore the fertility of the soil they farm. We’ve committed to improve the fertility of 10 million hectares of farmland on the brink of degradation.
