Innovation to help produce the food the world needs

Innovation powers integrated solutions to meet farmers’ needs today, and to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges. Through innovation, we provide products and services to produce what our food system demands, and to conserve resources and sustain the land. Our transparent approach reaches across the food chain, inviting consumers in. By understanding the science, stewardship and testing that goes into our products, our goal is to give consumers confidence about the food their families eat.

Fostering Farm Resilience: Safeguarding and Sustaining Our Food Origins

Innovation has never been more important

Food is the most basic human need and the engine of economic development. Yet while our world is growing, our food resources are not. As a champion of responsible agriculture, this is our challenge. Our response to the challenge is innovation.

Looking to the future of agriculture

“I hope that students interested in science will consider agriculture and ag R&D as a future career because after all, what could be more important than making sure we all have access to a plentiful, healthy and safe food supply? We need the best and brightest students joining us to innovate and problem solve in this space for generations to come.”

What makes us different?

Corteva Agriscience™ is founded on a rich tradition of innovation that draws upon the combined strengths of DuPont Crop Protection, Dow AgroSciences and Pioneer. We constantly challenge ourselves on how we can bring all our platforms together to offer farmers integrated solutions to their most pressing challenges. We believe in the power of collaboration, inviting in ideas from a wide variety of sources, and developing partnerships with universities and NGOs across the globe.

"Innovation is a requirement, not a choice."

Predictive agriculture

“The work we are doing in R&D is directly translatable to a farmer’s field. Digital Ag is already disrupting the Ag economy and we are discovering, testing and validating these technologies within our R&D operations as a way to prove their value and hone our predictive accuracy."
