Feed the world. It’s something that we’ve all heard for many years, but when numbers – such as nine billion and 2050 – are added to that focus, it’s a more daunting task.  And, while the statement is very straightforward – feed the world – the unspoken ‘rules’ make this goal even more difficult.  Our real challenge and goal is to provide the growing global population with a safe and increasingly healthy food supply while minimizing environmental impact and meeting concurrent demand for increase bio-energy solutions.  DuPont and Pioneer are uniquely positioned to tackle some of the largest global challenges in food, fuel and fiber.  Innovative research and partnering approaches are critical to meet these demands.
