Our Commitment to Sustainability in Arizona

A wide range of subject matter experts from engineering, construction, automation, and horticulture worked to make the Marana greenhouse a leading facility in sustainability.   

At Bayer, we believe every investment in innovation should also be an investment in sustainability. By doing so, we can shape a more sustainable future for one of the world’s most important industries. And as an agriculture leader, we have the opportunity – and responsibility – to address the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and food security to create a better tomorrow for our planet.  

Each step of the growing process is designed to reduce the environmental footprint. The greenhouse recycles almost 100 percent of the water used and composts 100 percent of the harvested materials. Learn more about our composting practices. 

The Marana greenhouse facility also uses integrated pest management practices that leverage biological controls and beneficial insects to control harmful bugs, such as aphids, that would damage the crops. This process reduces the need for other crop protection methods such as pesticides. Learn more about our integrated pest management practices. 

The Marana greenhouse is one way to address the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and food security to create a better tomorrow for the world.
