Our global population is rapidly expanding, and the demand for fresh water is growing with it. By 2030, scientists project there will be a 40 percent gap between the supply and demand of water—a gap that could devastate communities around the world. The planet and its people need a smarter way to safeguard the water supply.
At Bayer, we believe that every investment we make in innovation needs to be an investment in sustainability. Aiming to protect water resources, we’re working to develop technology that improves water efficiency and quality.
Transforming water usage with data
Digital tools are giving farmers a complete picture of their operation. Using billions of data points, farmers can prevent problems before they arise, allowing them grow enough while using less.
The Climate FieldView™ platform, for example, offers precipitation alerts that notify farmers of rain. These notifications allow them to more accurately water their fields, while monitoring tools help farmers reduce pesticide runoff into freshwater sources. With real-time information at their fingertips, farmers can ensure water is used only where it’s needed, when it’s needed, which in turns helps to deliver a successful harvest.
Through a combination of satellite and drone imagery, soil data, and weather, farmers are not only growing more sustainably—they’re also learning how to improve irrigation systems on the farm.
