🌊 For generations, Norwegian sailors have braved the brutal Arctic Ocean to harvest seaweed. What they’ve known for centuries, science is now confirming: algae extract—specifically Ascophyllum nodosum—helps crops: ✅ Thrive under stress ✅ Resist extreme weather ✅ Unlock their full potential Now a cornerstone of the fast-growing agricultural biologicals industry, this humble seaweed is proving to be anything but ordinary. “The specialty of this seaweed is its capacity to endure, to adapt, and its resilience,” Ottorino Biondi, General Manager, ALGEA (a Syngenta company) 🌱 The future of farming? It might just start in the sea. 👇 Curious to learn more? Check the comments for our latest insights and resources.

We’re looking for collaborators! Do you have a breakthrough solution that improves one or more physical, biological, or chemical properties of the soil? 🌱 Hear from Matthew Wallenstein about how growers worldwide face many challenges in maintaining and increasing soil functionality and our Shoots by Syngenta initiative needs your help.

Soil is more than just dirt — it’s a living, breathing ecosystem. 🌱 🪱 In Episode 1 of our docuseries Tiny Titans, our scientist Juan Fernando Mejia De Los Rios breaks down the intricate balance between the chemical, physical, and biological components that keep soil healthy and productive. 🎥 Discover the hidden world beneath our feet and why it matters more than ever. 📺 Watch the director's cut on YouTube in the comments 👇 #SoilHealth #TinyTitansDocuseries #SyngentaBiologicals

Invasive pest alert: tuta absoluta is threatening world tomato production. 🚨 🍅🪱 This fast-moving critter has spread from Latin America to Europe, Africa and Asia. The U.S. could be next, says the Annual Review of Entomology. 💰 AKA the tomato leaf miner, it burrows into plants and gorges on their juice. In Africa alone, this pesky pest costs the continent $10+ billion a year. 🌍 Globalization is speeding up its spread. Climate change is helping it settle in. Together, they can create ideal conditions for this pest to thrive—putting local biodiversity and food security at risk. It has a “devastating effect on tomato production in both glasshouses and open fields” ~ Russell Slater, Syngenta. 💡 The challenge? Tuta absoluta is resistant to multiple insecticides, forcing growers to seek smarter, more sustainable solutions. It’s time to bug them back. 💪 #Agriculture #Innovation #Pests

Join us in accelerating innovation through collaboration! 🤝 🌱 Scientific Expert Benedikt Kurtz discusses the challenge of developing effective biocontrol solutions that can be delivered as seed treatments (or via soil) to protect corn, soy and other crops from wireworms, rootworms and more. We’re open to exploring different approaches that could include: - SAR-inducers - Attractants/repellents - Rhizobiome enhancers If you have: - Preliminary efficacy data (whole-plant assays, pot or glasshouse trials) - A strong rationale or early proof-of-concept against soil pests …we want to collaborate with you! #ShootsBySyngenta #Biocontrol #AgTech #SustainableAg #AgResearch

A Syngenta recebeu hoje, em seu escritório em São Paulo, os participantes da Jornada Galápagos de Jornalismo 2025. Como patrocinadora da iniciativa, temos orgulho em apoiar espaços que valorizam a comunicação e fortalecem a conexão entre o campo e as cidades. A programação da manhã contou com uma conversa inspiradora com Cassiano Ribeiro, Editor-executivo do Valor Econômico e Head da Globo Rural, sobre os desafios da cobertura jornalística no setor. Também tivemos a presença de Nêmora Reche, Diretora de Comunicação Corporativa da Syngenta Proteção de Cultivos e Seeds no Brasil, que destacou o papel da Syngenta na COP 30 e iniciativas como o programa REVERTE®️, que apoia os agricultores, por meio de técnicas agronômicas e financiamento de longo prazo, a transformar pastos degradados em áreas produtivas. À tarde, o painel sobre cobertura climática reuniu vozes relevantes da imprensa e da sustentabilidade, como Lia Rizzo, Editora de ESG da Revista Exame, Daniela Mello Freire, do Pacto Global da ONU no Brasil, e Raquel Brandão Inácio, repórter do InvestNews. Os debates reforçaram a importância do jornalismo na construção de agendas responsáveis e conectadas com os desafios ambientais. Agradecemos a todos os participantes pela presença e pelo engajamento! #Syngenta #Comunicação #Sustentabilidade #JornadaGalápagos2025

Next-Gen Farming, Rooted in Tradition 🌱 Jeff Rowe is putting regenerative agriculture to the test on his family farm in Illinois. This year, the fifth-generation farmer and Syngenta Group CEO, is adding a powerful new variable: biologicals. Biologicals are inspired by, or directly derived from nature - like seaweed from Arctic fjords — that can help boost plant resilience, manage pests and diseases, and improve yield. This isn’t just innovation for innovation’s sake. It’s a real-world experiment with a real-world impact — on the future of agriculture and global food security. Follow along as we share updates from this living lab throughout the year. Want the full cinema experience?
