The crop sciences division of Bayer AG has awarded 1 million dollar to North Carolina State University (NCSU) to create a Chair of Sustainable Development position at the Raleigh school. Pascal Housset, president of the business operations unit at Bayer CropScience, said the endowment was the company's next step in developing a sustainability culture. "We cannot achieve our goals alone. That is why the research expertise of North Carolina State makes the university an ideal choice," Housset said. "Itis within our power to achieve great success for our company while effecting critical change that will benefit society as a whole.... Together with the university, we will take great strides in that direction."
