Food and Nutrition Security

Abundant and Nutritious Food for All: Our Contributions

Fruits and vegetables on market

We know that food production, farm incomes, nature restoration, and climate adaptation must increase to make our food systems more resilient. We also firmly believe that the future of farming is regenerative, which means we need to produce more while at the same time restoring more.


For the people at Bayer, farmers, consumers and patients are at the heart of what we do. As a market and thought leader in health and agriculture, we are committed to leading the way.


We recognize the challenges of hunger & malnutrition are complex and need to be addressed in multiple ways, and in collaboration with others. What’s more, food is a highly emotional topic, always connected to the historical and cultural context of people, influenced by actors and circumstances at local, national, and global  level.


We bring innovative and local solutions to the table – working side by side with farmers, other private and public stakeholders, policymakers, and value chain partners.

Without farmers, there is no food sufficiency.

Good nutrition is rooted in a diverse and balanced diet. Our business supports the production of a wide variety of food crops, from staple grains like corn, rice and wheat to fruits, vegetables, pulses, and nuts. We also enable the production of grain products for feeding livestock which provide quality proteins like meat, milk and eggs. Our portfolio of innovative products and solutions, including seeds, crop protection products and digital tools, empowers farmers to produce these high quality, nutritious foods for people and animals in a sustainable and increasingly regenerative way.
