The challenges for the world going forward in farming are enormous. The massive trend of urbanization and growth in global population forces us to produce more, in better quality, with less resource in farmlands.
Therefore, productivity, profitability and sustainability are key in farming business.

Service driven solutions, access, added value and education are focus of 4mevsim, an invitation only program for farmers, powered by Bayer.
