Inspiring Discussions on Safeguarding Soil Health at the Global Impact Summit! Our panel brought together experts to discuss innovations driving sustainable soil management and climate resilience in agriculture. We heard from Gusui Wu on Syngenta’s Interra® Scan initiative, which offers advanced soil mapping technology to assess soil health in unprecedented detail. Interra® Scan provides farmers with vital insights into soil nutrients, organic matter, and structure, helping them make precise, sustainable land management decisions. We also heard about Syngenta’s Reverte program, which is advancing soil health through regenerative farming practices and innovative soil management solutions. Reverte focuses on techniques like cover cropping, reduced tillage, and biodiversity promotion to restore degraded soils, improve water retention, and increase carbon sequestration. Charles Rice from Kansas State University underscored the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of climate dynamics and their effects on crops. He emphasized that adapting agriculture to climate change demands robust data collection and advanced systems analysis to monitor climate variables and their impact on crop productivity, enabling proactive and resilient agricultural strategies. Karsten Temme from Pivot Bio spoke about how they are revolutionizing regenerative agriculture by providing farmers with an alternative to traditional synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. Through their innovative microbial nitrogen technology, Pivot Bio offers Proven® 40, a biofertilizer that uses naturally occurring microbes to deliver nitrogen directly to crops, reducing dependency on synthetic fertilizers. This approach not only lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with fertilizer production but also minimizes nitrogen runoff, which can harm water quality and soil health.
