INNOVATORS

Bayer

This company was discovered in August 1 of 1863 by Friedrich Bayer.  The ultimate purpose of this company is to provide fundamental needs acquired through agriculture advances for a higher yield of crops, preventing various environmental factors from farming the crops feeding the world, and in all to keep the growing population to keep striving.

Syngenta

Syngenta, considered to be pretty recent compared to others innovators was found in November 13, 2000. In February of 2016, ChemChina head in for the bid of $43 billion dollars and brought Syngenta, largest ever foreign purchase by a Chinese firm. This firm concentrates on various major crops that largely benefit the world such as cereals, corn, rice, soybean, and sugar cane. The seeds produced by Syngenta undergoes breeding hybrid varieties and genetically modifying plants that increases resistance to stress, disease and insects. Furthermore, this company aid farmers in the worldwide crisis of global warming through crops resistance to heat, cold, and drought for a healthier alternatives with minimizing the used of precious natural resources.

​

 ISABION®: rice is known as as one of the most important crop in the world, due to the increasing climate change, there has been researches regarding withstanding extreme heat and cold, in which resulted in the  ISABION®.

Monsanto

Monsanto deprived from Pharmacia Corporation and became an agricultural company in 2002. The main research focuses on improving yield enhancements of crops for both farmers, consumers, and additionally our ecosystem for a better and greater world.  Its key points concentrates on conserving valuable resources such as land, water, and energy through the technology of genetic crops that will significantly save hundred of thousands of dollar for farmers.

 

Round-Up:

There was a huge issue on weed growing everywhere where the plants were; therefore in 1974, such case was solved. Round- up acts an advanced weedkiller. By spraying it on the wanted plant and carried to growing point of the weed and kills it. Over the years, it has been used in more than 100 crops and in 120 countries worldwide.

Norman Borlaug

Billions of lives were saved from third-world nations by an American scientist, Norman Borlaug beginning after the World War II and he is known as the " Father of The Green Revolution". Crops failed to produce in places like Mexico and India; leading to the deaths of many. Borlaug and his team successfully innovated a disease-resistant, high-yield crops through the used of genetic engineering technologies.

Mary-Dell Chilton

Chilton, a plant scientist, is contributed for her creation of the first transgenic plants at Washington University  in the 1980s. This was made possible with a type of bacteria, Agrobacterium tumefaciens that is inserted into those of plant's genes. At the age of 76 years old, Mary- Dell Chilton continues to work and research further; soybeans and the various crops from her research help in developing are grown on more than 170 million acres of U.S. farm.

​

Transgenic Plants: led way to further discoveries and aid with less used of pesticides, improving nutrition, and improve crop productivity.

Purdue University

Ray Bressan, Yang Zhao, Kang Zhu, Zhulong Chan together worked in the Jian-Kang Zhu's Lab at Purdue University on genetically modified drought-resistant crops. They together focused on crops that could grow even with the lack of water and uses less of natural resources as well. Places all around the world faces drought such as California and this technology aids in helping the crops grow with such extreme weather conditions. These researchers stated their technology could save farmer's money in the long run; furthermore could give way for third-world countries to feed the rising population.
