Regenerative agriculture – cultivating the future

Produce more while restoring more back to nature


At Vegetables by Bayer, we believe in farming that gives back to the earth. That’s why we’re committed to leading the way with regenerative agriculture practices that help growers of all sizes increase their yield potential and economic well-being while restoring more back to nature.

From efficient varieties that help reduce the use of natural resources to digital precision farming that helps provide solutions specific to the needs of each farm, we’re working to develop solutions that enable regenerative agriculture practices and increase resilience against climate change effects. Our efforts focus on improving soil health, conserving water, restoring biodiversity, increasing yield potential, and enhancing the economic and social well-being of farmers and their communities.

Together with growers, we are working to cultivate a future that helps restore the land, strengthen our communities, and promote a healthy food system for future generations. Join us as we grow with purpose and work towards making a positive impact on our planet.

Our commitments


As part of our vision to produce more, restore nature, and scale regenerative agriculture, we aim to be a sustainable supplier by working to reduce our ecological footprint, improve water efficiency within our sites and with our seed growers, and achieve climate neutrality in our own operations by 2030. The following sustainability goals help minimize agriculture’s impact on nature and support our vision of scaling regenerative agriculture. 

By 2030, we aim to: 

Reduce field greenhouse gas emissions by 30%

Reduce the environmental impact of crop protection by 30%

Improve water use per kilogram of crop by 25% by transforming rice-cropping systems

Empower 100 million smallholder farmers

By 2050, we aim to: 

Achieve net-zero GHG emissions along our entire value chain

Why we stand out


At Vegetables by Bayer, we bring together plant breeding innovation, crop protection, and digital technology under one roof so we can provide growers with a system of agricultural solutions that, when combined, can create value for farms and nature alike.

We view each farm as a unique ecosystem and offer customized solutions based on specific conditions. By combining innovative solutions with expert support, we help growers transition to regenerative agriculture practices that help increase their yield potential while regenerating the planet for future generations.
