Driving Sustainability Across the Agriculture Value Chain

Creating a more sustainable planet means working to transform the entire value chain of agriculture. Bayer’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions goes beyond our own operations. We have the products, relationships, technology and talent to help companies across the agriculture supply chain reduce their carbon footprints.

The Bayer Advantage

Climate FieldView^TM Platform

Currently used in over 20 countries on more than 200 million acres, the FieldViewTM platform simplifies and automates data collection for growers, while uniting data from each piece of their precision farming equipment. In the US, its subscribed acres represent more than half of all corn, soybean and cotton acres planted, and its vast footprint makes scalable practice verification possible. Access data from tractors, planters, sprayers and combines anywhere on practically any device. FieldView is a key enabler in developing the specific tools to address main climate challenges in the agriculture value chain, such as traceability.

Sustainability is a core commitment of Bayer’s business. Our greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) are in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. We’ve been at the forefront of setting global protocols for how carbon sequestration is measured and for verifying the impact of sustainable practices to ensure your products follow the appropriate standards.

EMEA Carbon Program

Bayer’s EMEA Carbon Program helps cut Scope 3 emissions and supports farmers in adopting regenerative practices that reduce emissions and store carbon in soils.

"The Bayer Program recognized and rewarded the practices I was already using, and that support makes a real difference. It’s encouraging to see a company that genuinely cares about farmers."
Trent H.
Iowa Farmer

"The Bayer Carbon Program is enhancing our farming practices by paying us per acre to adopt or continue using no-till and cover crop practices."
Josh C.
Illinois Farmer

"Regenerative agriculture practices have significantly improved our soil structure, reducing runoff and erosion. It has also helped lower our risk from extreme weather fluctuations."
Josh B.
Minnesota Farmer

"Farmers want to improve their farm, leave it better than what we received so we can bring back the next generation. We believe carbon will help do that."
Luke & Abby S.
Missouri Farmers

"The partnership with Bayer provides a critical digital footprint in connecting Perdue directly with our farmers through Climate FieldView. This reach provides us with something we cannot do ourselves. It also gives us a unique connection with both our business customers and consumers of our products."
Perry Aulie
President of Perdue Agribusiness

"For over 30 years, I've cultivated paddy, but joining the Rice Carbon Project in 2021 revolutionized my farming practices. Adopting AWD has reduced costs, optimized water use, and earned recognition within my community."
Fagu Charan Swain
Farmer from Odisha, India

"I’ve farmed rice on six acres for 20 years. Water scarcity and high labor costs led me to try Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) in 2022 with support from The Good Rice Alliance. After success on one acre, I expanded DSR to all six acres of my land and my brother’s four acres. This method has helped me save significant labor costs and reduce water use, making my farming more sustainable."
Yatam Jyothi
Women Farmer from Telangana, India

"My family has grown paddy for generations using traditional flooding. For the past two years, I’ve been using Alternative Wetting and Drying (AWD) after learning about it at a local farmer meeting. Since then, I’ve reduced fertilizer use, cut pesticide sprays, and saved significant water. My yields have improved by about 1 to 2 quintals per acre, and I save around ₹4,000 to ₹5,000 per acre."
Kotresh R B
Farmer from Karnataka, India

"I have been working with the Bayer Rice Carbon Program for the last couple of years, which provided me with AWD pipes and trained me on their effective use. By monitoring water levels through the pipe, I reduced irrigation by two to three times, saving significant water. Best of all, my yield increased by two to three bags per season, each weighing 40 kilograms."

Women Farmer from Bihar, India
