Biotech company Syngenta intends to increase current crop yields of their products by 20% by 2020, as part of a "good growth plan" for the future, it announced last week. The plan, introduced at a series of launch events around the world, outlined six commitments that Syngenta claims to be undertaking in addressing the global food challenge by 2020. The first of the six commitments is seeking to "make crops more efficient" by increasing output by 20% without using more land, water or inputs.
