Mission & Goals
As a leading advocate for the plant science industry, CropLife International champions innovative technologies that help farmers grow more food on less land sustainably. We represent six of the world’s leading agricultural R&D companies by protecting intellectual property to foster a culture of innovation; advocating for trade and regulatory policies that facilitate access to new technologies, and ensuring the responsible and effective use of plant science innovations. The challenge is in figuring out how to feed our growing population while protecting the planet to ensure a sustainable future for all. We need to reduce barriers to innovation so we can chart a path toward greater sustainability in agriculture and our global food systems. By working with our members, our global network, and a diverse range of partners, we are driving actionable progress to increase food security, adapt to and mitigate climate change, and protect biodiversity.
