Abstract:Today, the production of food accounts for roughly one quarter of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Since the 1970s, thanks to substantial research and development, the overall yield output in farm fields has increased by ca. 60%, while the net use of crop protection agents
per square meter of farm field has been reduced by more than 90%. The development of modern crop protection agents remains an important need as new pests, diseases and weeds continue to affect crops. The vast majority of these effect… Show more
“…We have embarked in a number of internal and collaborative initiatives towards several of the principles including for example the increased usage of renewable resources as chemical feedstocks. 9 As a prototypical demonstrative example of our actions, we describe within this report our achievements vs. Principle #5.…”
