Monsanto’s Sustainable Yield Initiative
Conserve More
Improve Farmers’Lives
Produce More
Help corn, soy & cotton farmers double yields
Reduce use of key resources by 1/3 per unit of output
Farmers of all sizes become more productive, including >5M people in resource-poor farm families

Goal:Help farmers double yields of corn, soybeans and cotton from 2000‐2030
